The Keith Psalm

The Keith Psalm
Elmer Keith is my master.
I shall not flinch.
He leadeth me to larger calibers.
He suggesteth hotter hand loads.
Yea, thought I load with 2400, I fear not failure
For my S&W is with me.
Recessed chambers comfort me.I hunt chipmunks with my .458.
verily, I slay cans with my 44 Mag.
Yea, thought I load maximum, with a pinch for luck,
Yea though I implore Lyman to design a heavier bullet,
I shall not be satisfied.
Surely someone will bring forth a hotter magnum;
Then shall my heart be gladdened
And powder-smoke surround me
All the days of my life.

THANK YOU !!! I"ve not seen that in decades but well remember when it was published in GUNS MAGAZINE when Elmer was on staff there in the late '50's.

Sounds like something Jack O'Connor would have written about him.
