I've still got most of a box of .44's loaded by Elmer and would hate to
shoot them up. I know there's guys out there who can fly, shoot, and make
muzzle loader. I'll shoot their reloads, ride in their planes and drink
their lightning. Every cobbler to his own last, as my dad used to say.



There's a name I've not heard since I walked away from the shooting sports
when the "combat" guys started showing up at my local indoor range. Elmer
really has to be the grandaddy of American shooting. I lent out his book a
number of years ago, I should go hunt that down. I'm amazed at the life he
led.
