is not even legal in all 50 states for deer size game and is less than half the power of a 44 magnum. Mainly though it is not legal for dangerous game. For dangerous game the 375 is the smallest you can go with. For dangerous game like Cape Buffalo, Rhino, male Lion and such you have to break him down and then kill him. A cat is a hard animal to kill as you found out. I have hunted Africa 15 times and #16 is coming up quick so I have found out what kills the big animals the best and it sure isn't a little fragile bullet. The small fast bullets work fine on deer and I heartily agree with you on them, but not on something like a big male lion or a Cape Buffalo. Your problem in my opinion was either bullet placement or a bad choice of bullets.
The 6 of us will be using handguns so we have to break the cat down first and then put in the killing shots. Suggesting small fast bullets will just get someone killed.
