Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Hi Tac, good read .
His 90gr bullet has a b/c value of 551 un-pointed .
If he is pointing them the 90gr could be closer to 600 b/c ...:cool:.
Combined with his velocity of 2849fps its going to give the .308 a run for their money :cool:.
Regards ,Tomcat.
