    Those 80ELDM have a very high opinion of themselves already without them hearing stuff about being compared to lightening.

    Ill stress, this is observation, and not intended in a negative manor. I use a similar shot choice, and have done for 20+ years. I just dont get the running. Except for the last shot I fired which was an approx 300gr projectile at low velocity.

    The wound channel looked remarkably similar however.

    I got struck by lightening a few weeks back, it was an experience thats for sure!

    Faarrkkk - finally I get in on this thread, My Dad was in "J Force" and visited both the A bombed cities. It made a big impression on him. AND I saw him get struck by lightning one time when I was a kid, it flowed down over his umbrella and through the steel d9g kennels (he was putting the dogs away). The only casualty was the umbrella!

    Nice try. But you are not part of the gang unless you use “lightning” and “.223” in the same sentence.

    How about.... "when I finished lightening my 270 it was a 223."

    This 223 thread has been en-lightening?

    The 223 might hit like lightening, but the 270 hits like an earthquake?
