I've never had much blow back out of mine but the accuracy really sucked, even with the 25-06 heavy barrel. I did put an adjustable hinge pin in it this fall. It brought the factory Hornady 117 gr. SST into where all 5 shots were touching at 100yds. I'm just getting ready to clean the 25-06 and put the .50 back on. I still have 5 more days of ML season along with a 4 day antler less season. Be heading to the range tomorrow.
