For them's what know about .44 Specials and such. I found myself in Salmon, Idaho recently. Here's a photo of Elmer's house. I understand the attic was his reloading area.
And two pictures of his final testing place.

Used to devour his articles in Guns and Ammo :grin:

His book "Hell, I was there!" is a good read too. Thanks for posting this.

A trip to Mecca.. :smiley:

Keith-designed hard cast bullets are still my favorites for the field. That old fellow caused a great deal of progress in ammunition design...

He did more to popularize the .44 magnum than Dirty Harry, and his writings were truth.

"Hell I Was There" is an excellent book. I narrowly missed meeting the guy in Salmon, ID several years ago.

I would LOVE to know (like "Hell, I Was There TOO") if all of the tales in that book are true.
Elmer was one heck of a writer, and could express himself in a way that really made you feel like you were there and could see what he was doing ....

It all started with my favorite , his development of the .357 magnum.

I was going to mention his book, and yes, it is an excellent read! :thumb: :cool:

"Sixguns" by Keith is required reading for aspiring gunsmiths and instructors. I least that's what I tell them. I believe his stories, seen too much crazy stuff not to.

Both of those books are on accessible places on my shelves, and well-read. "Sixguns" has some good stories in it besides being an invaluable reference for anyone interested in older revolvers ...
