Little known trivia

[thefixitman]

I just looked up Elmer Keith at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elmer_Keith it was interesting so I thought I’d share a little known story.
Elmer Keith was an inspector at the Ogden Army arsenal here in Ogden, Utah. He was an avid handgun hunter and developed the .357 magnum as well as most of the other magnum handguns. The rifles that he inspected were stamped with the initials "OGEK" in a rectangular box, on the buttstock. Rifles stamped OGEK without a rectangular box were inspected by Ed Klouser at the same Ogden Arsenal.

I've read there were only 1000 P- 13s ? The 276 carthridge.

Huh? What do the P.13 rifle has to do with Elmar Keith? And there were more than 1000 of the P.13s, just look up the entry in the Knowledge Library. There's also a semi-automatic conversion of the P.13 pictured in Skennertons "The U.S. Enfield"

Elmer created the .44 magnum. It was developed out of his experiments with heavy .44 special loads in the S&W triple lock pistols.
