I had one for kicks for a while. Just really couldn't find a use for it since my custom 300RUM is my gun of choice for big big game. And mine wasn't nats butt accurate either. She had a bite and half. With the 225Accubond she should do well. I have had good luck out of them. I might forget about the break or at least have a cap for it so I can take it off and on. I believe a guy that shoots as much as you can handle the recoil. But I have to admit, mine was 11lbs. Makes a big difference as you know. About the same difference in recoil as comparing a 300Win mag and 300RUM with the same size bullet to comparing a 338win mag and 338RUM. So if you have experience with a 338Win, you might know what i mean.
