Elmer Keith had a BHE trap gun. His guns were on display at the Boise Cabela's for years and I think the family ran the collection through Julia's some years ago.

Thanks, Patrick. Keith is not in my library. Did he write any stories or particular articles that included his Parker?

Elmer got Remington to bring out the 2 3/4in. Magnum load in 1953 in 16ga.
.
I'm guessing only in his mind or typewriter.

Remington introduced their 16-gauge 2 3/4 inch Magnum along with their 12- and 20-gauge 2 3/4 inch Magnums in their December 16, 1954 price list.

Short Magnum introduction December 16, 1954.jpg

Western, Winchester and Peters had them in their December 1954 price lists too.

I had too many ammo catalogs open last night and misspoke that Remington had their Short Magnums in their January 1954 price list. Remington was December 1954 just like all the others. Sorry.
