I've been hunting all my life and that had to have been the best shot that I've ever made. I struggled with the decision weather or not to take such a long shot, but after shooting as much as I have all week, I felt confident that I could do my part and extremely impressed with the performance with the Nosler. I hear a lot of complaints about cost of Noslers but if my calculations are correct, it costs me $1.35 per shot. I think that's reasonable for an accurate hunting load but wouldn't consider "plinkin" with.
