Ray -- click on the link at the beginning of this post. The story is about using a small cannon for hunting white tail. Gives a new meaning to hunting with a big bore!

Not all of us are ignorant, I use some very pleasant and effective 470 NE loads on deer ( using cast bullets, or 475 pistol bullets if I want expansion.) loads are with 50 grs. ( half full case ) of XMR 5744 powder that was designed for the very large blackpowder buffalo cartridges, ie. 45- 120 ,50- 140 . Powder burns clean, not position sensitive , no problem with half full cases.
Carlos -- click on the link to see the yahoos using a cannon (literally) on deer. I too use my big-bores for hunting game that would readily succomb to much lesser calibers. Case in point, I hunt wild hogs with both my .416 Rem Mag and my .458 Lott.
