Actually Elmer blew up 2 guns. The other was a SAA .45 in which he was shooting some much used brass that had loose primer pockets. Loaded with semi-smokless powder. He said he thought he got a chain-fire and the top three chambers all went off together. the top half of the cylinder and the top strap of the revolver left for other locations. These two .45 SAAs are the only documented Keith blow-ups. neither with modern smokeless powders. If anyone has documentation of any others, I challenge you to post proof of same. Nuff said...............
