You should throw that 202 away and get an R93, since the 202 isn't good and has a horrible safety! dancing

An X or tripple shock out of a .300 works just great for leopard.

Your .300 set up is fine so don't change bullets. The last leopard I shot was with a .300 grain X bullet and the leopard never moved after the shot. The X will open up and be fine. MUFASA

Any good premium bullet is OK for Leopard in that caliber. I'm sure the Barnes would work.I would use a 150 or 165 gr. bullet and one of the softer premiums. My choice would be a 165 gr.Nosler.

I would use the same bullet for Leopard that I normally use for Plainsgame or deer and Antelope.
