The debate of Elmer's Keith role in the development of the 357 Magnum cartridge is an interesting one. Some references I've seen state it was a collaboration of Keith, Phillip Sharpe and Col Wesson, but details are sketchy.

No question that Keith was hot rodding 38 Specials, along with a number of others in the early 30s but hard to connect the dots on his role with the development of the 38-44 and ultimately the .357 Magnum.

Here is a link to a thread with a letter from Mr. Jinks:
