Summary: A great collection
Review: A great collection of the works of Elmer Keith,,whatelse can you say!!
Rating:
Summary: Fine gun lore.
Review: Keith, cowboy, lawman, big-game hunter, world-class
marksman and gun expert, wrote the long-running
column in Guns & Ammo magazine upon which this
book is based.
Ornery, opinionated, and thoroughly knowledgable on his subject, Keith writes about ballistics,
hunting, hand-loading, and accuracy in shotguns,
rifles, and handguns, always clearly and cogently, and never leaving the reader unsure of where the writer stands.
Keith is always interesting, and most of his work
is relevant today, but the publisher of this
compilation takes pains to warn the reader that
some of Keith's data is unscientific and suspect,
and must not be relied on uncritically, especially
with respect to bullet velocities and chamber
pressures.

Summary: Timeless gun lore.
Review: Keith, variously a cowboy, big-game hunter, world-class marksman, and famous gun expert, for many years wrote a regular column in Guns & Ammo Magazine, which is the basis for this collection, in two volumes.
He was a gun and gear designer of some note, having been instrumental in the development of the Winchester Model 70 and also the .41 and .44 Magnum cartridges. His writing skills matched his technical expertise, and there is never any doubt about where he stood on any issue. His advice, especially on safety, is cogent and just as applicable today as when it was written.
Keith was a also an inveterate experimenter with cartridge modification and propellant loads, and the publisher takes pains to warn the reader that Keith's' data is unscientific and suspect, and must not be relied upon uncritically, especially with respect to bullet velocities and chamber pressures. Understanding that, the reader will find a wealth of useful hunting and shooting information here, clearly presented. (The "score" rating is an ineradicable feature of the age. This reviewer does not 'score" books.)
