Tom,
Regarding your article on antelope hunting in the Dakota winter issue:
1. Last time I saw that laminate stocked Model 97 it was a 300 Dakota. Did you rebarrel or get a twin in 7mm?
2. Why the apologetic tone about using the "big 7mm Dakota" that "might be a bit of overkill"?
3. There are many 140 grain bullets that would not have "... performed about like a hand grenade." even at close range. The Swift A-Frame and NorthFork come to mind. I really don't see how the inclusion of this last paragraph adds to the article. How come?
Not trying to start an argument, but really want to know. In fact, if willing, PM me and we'll chat or I'll give you my number and we can talk. I have a 76 in 7mm Dakota and a 97 in 330. Huge fan of theirs.
Lastly, that was an incredible antelope! Congratulations.
Thanks in advance.
