Prove it.
I get so tired of everyone bashing Old Elmer for his experimenting. I only know of two revolvers that he blew up. He seemed to write about all of his experiences, good and bad. He dang sure wasn't perfect, and he may have blown up more than he wrote about, but all of the respected old time gun writers that knew him stated many, many times that he didn't lie about his gunning. Those that saw him shoot said that the 600 yard deer, which he was trying to keep from getting away after being crippled, was well within his abilities.
Sorry for the rant, olskool, but that is one of my pet peeves.
