My Speer Reloading Manual states that major D. B. Wesson (of S&W fame) designed the .357 magnum in 1935, but although I have read several articles & one book about Elmer Keith, I did not know he was an inspector at that arsenal during WW II.

I've always enjoyed his exploits and his anecdotes, but like all such stories, they get better the more they're told...
