Anyone hunt with this caliber?

I just bought a Savage Apex in this caliber to use in special regs areas. Just wondering what your opinion is of this cartridge. I've been hearing good things about it.

In jest right? I do not like using slugs or slug guns for deer. I can get better accuracy at 200 yards with a .400 Legend than I could at 100 with a slug gun. Ammo is around $32 a box for 20 rounds. 5 shotgun slugs aren't much off that price if I use the better sabot stuff. Foster slugs are cheap but are 50 yard ammo at best. My son's got a slug gun. With the scope and fully loaded it is very heavy I'd say over ten lbs. It kicks like an angry donkey. Another disadvantage.

I read somewhere when you hit a deer with one they go straight down!
