In my .416 Rigby, Hornady DGS and DGX shot to exactly the same POI.
I think the TSX would not expand as much as I would want on a thin-skinned, light-boned animal like a leopard.
In Mozambique you had to use at least a .375 on DG.
(I would prefer a .30/06, .300 magnum, 7x57, etc. with quality cup & core bullets)
If your .416 likes the Hornady DGX bullets, I think they should be OK.
If hunting at night and if legal, I would prefer to use a thermal scope for leopard over NV or my PH quickly hitting it with a spotlight. Allow the PH to determine the animal's gender.
