"Trying to deflect the discussion by comparing a .223 to a .308 or .270 is the rankest sort of gun esoterica intimidation, and you and anyone else who resorts to such lame tactics is showing nothing but desperation. You want to play this sort of bullshit game, count me in: the .308 and the .270 are comparatively "low powered," compared to a .375 H&H magnum round. And that "low powered" .223 has a lot more power than a 9mm pistol round. Enough of the technical tap-dancing, OK? It's not working like it used to."

I was explaining how OTHERS see things paladin, specifically, people that the OP was reaching out to. Thats not technical tap dancing. Nor did I express "scorn" for the 223. I explained how others - the people the OP is reaching out to, see it.

So kindly find someone else to apply your contrived position to, or heck, maybe even apply it to someone that actually holds it.

Your applying to me in this thread, a position that I did not actually express in this thread, is what isn't working. OK?
