Questions About Reloading without Reliable Load Data...

[AJC1]

You were told wrong. I'd suggest you read Keith's book SIXGUNS. It's a REALLY good read. There are a lot of photos of blown up revolvers therein, none of which are his. I think many, many people thumb through that book, look at the pictures without reading it and just assume he destroyed all those firearms.



Elmer Keith was a pioneer in the field of reloading and firearms and did things, both in the world of firearms, hunting and in life in general, that the vast majority of men today simply don't have the cojones to do. That's why I sort of cringe when people make fun of him. If you want to see what MEN were like 100 years ago, read his books.

See above.

I support Keith's accomplishments fully. I use his bullet designs and follow his hardness recommendations of 12bhn in 357 to this day. I'm not taking a poke if you read my meaning...

QuickLoad followed with a pressure transducer system and applicable software, furthermore lots of free time and beautiful land to test on would be by far the best method to test loads in my dreams.
