Elmer Keith wrote on several occasions that if he were to be restricted to the 45 long Colt, he would load it with the Remington Black Powder cartridge. After he passed, and his revolvers were unloaded, it was found he had written what he practiced and indeed the loads in the 45 long Colt SAAs were the specified Remingtons.
Is anyone aware of how much and what powder Remington used that would make EK choose them over his reloads or smokeless loads?
