[QUOTE="D.Camilleri, post: 457037, member: 2567"] I have been shooting 225 accubonds for the past several years and I finally recovered one this year on a frontal quartering shot on a nice mulie at about 200 yards DRT. The bullet broke the on side shoulder and was recovered under the hide on the far side ham. Bullet performance looked excellent, large mushroom aproaching 1 inch and it appeared to weigh over 70%, didn't get a chance to weigh it however because I left it in the kitchen and someone threw it away. I dropped my speed with the accubonds down from 3300 with 97 grs of rl25 to 3150 with 94 grs of rl 25 due to loose primer pockets after one firing. I also worked up a load with 225 TTSK with 93 gr of rl 25 but haven't made a kill with them yet. Unfortunately no new elk in the freezer this year due to passing on too many bulls and having to cut the hunt short. I sure hope I can draw this tag again, because I have never seen so many bulls. Last night of hunt, I had two bulls at 800 yards and I just wasn't confident enough in the range finder because I kept getting different readings and it wouldn't pick up on the elk, so I didn't shoot.
