I 100% agree confidence is a huge factor in hunting - peace of mind is all the reasoning one needs.
do you think you get what you pay for in a bullet??
Generally sure, the cost of a bullet hasn't really detered me, in the grand scheme of things it amounts to very little to the over all cost of any given hunt. However asI said priorI first research the bullet/design and see how it applies to my usage. If it is a fit the next step is to shoot it. If it shoots I hunt with it. Performance on the hunt dictates what i do with that load keep it, shelf it or toss it. I like to shoot but I shoot to hunt so for me the end justifies the means.
In regards to the Nosler Partition you'll be hard pressed to find to many who'd disagree its agreat hunting bullet. Is it required for deer no butplenty of them fall to it every year and will continue to.If it shoots I don't think you'll be unpleased.
