DG Stopping Rifle - Double vs Bolt

[M.T. Pockets]

I recall the video of the lion charge that was all over the internet about a year or two ago. This lion had been hit by a hunter and was seen crouched about 30 yards away in the bush. Several people emtied their guns and one person was injured when the lion knocked him down. I think there were about 10 shots in all.

If I was in that position I know which of my guns I would liked to have had.

Do I dare speak this..... even online ?

My 12 guage autoloader with a slug barrell using the 3" copper slugs that Barnes loads. Today's autoloaders are probably more reliable than your typical hunter using a bolt or pump under pressure like that when more than one shot is needed.

I know this is no elephant, buffalo or rhino gun under any circumstance. But for wounded cats upclose I think it would would have a place.

I'm far from a PH, or dangerous game hunter, but that is my take on the lion charge in that video.
