Hodgdon publishes pressures along with their reloading data on their website. I'm interested in the .357 Magnum data, and a great many of their maximum loads are higher than the SAAMI max of 35,000 psi. Why would they publish these, and am I at risk of damaging my GP100 by following these...

Mailed in a $50 rebate for my wife for the Rockchucker kit she got me for Christmas. Mailed it a week or two after Thanksgiving, so it's been a solid couple of months and I still haven't seen a check. Anybody else get theirs?

I have some of the Hornady .357 nickle brass from a box of Critical Defense that I've been doing some shooting on. Interestingly, it's all pretty short! My Hornady manual lists the trim length for .357 to be 1.28", but I just mic'd all of these Critical Defense cases to be between 1.245-1.25"...

Hi folks, I have an 11-87 Premier Trap. Can I slap any ol' 11-87 barrel on this, magnums included, and still get proper function? Thought I read someplace that the gas system on this gun was different but I've also read that the difference is just in the barrel.

I just started reloading .38 Special and .357. My dad was cleaning out his garage, and made me take a 4lb jug of Winchester WST that was sitting in the garage since I used it for reloading for trap in high school. Seeing that I could use it in .38, I decided to try it out. I'd opened the jug...

I just picked up a used GP100 yesterday. It came with two sets of grips: the stock grips and then Hogue pau ferro hardwood grips. I just looked and these grips aren't cheap, so I was wondering if there's any way to tell if there are any other mods, such as a changed spring. This is my first...

Hi folks, I just got my 11-87 Premier Trap back from my dad. I think it needs a new gas seal but after that I'm hoping its ready to go. However, I've got an itch to go do some shooting and had some questions... I shot this gun for a year of trap in high school and didn't really get well...

I'm writing a paper about gun control in America for an English class, and I thought I would mention the old Federal Assault Weapon Ban. I remember there being a couple of good side-by-side comparison pictures that would show something like a pre-ban AR-15 next to a post-ban gun to illustrate...

The British car show Top Gear did an episode honoring the winter olympics this year, and they started off with a car biathalon. At the first station, host Jeremy Clarkson pulls an MP5 out of the trunk of his car :evil: The video is here, the biathalon is the first segment...

The Scheels in my town has a very old Remington Model 30 Express rifle that they say was manufactured in 1927. It's lost all the blueing and has an old leather butt-cuff that has either mold or dirt underneath it, I can't tell. For the amount of money they want for it, it's an easy pass. But...

Alrighty, I have an 11-87 premier trap with the 30" Target Barrel and Monte Carlo stock that I want to reconfigure for sporting clays. I have shot clays before and I love it, but I was hoping I could get some input on what to do with this gun. I already know I want to change the stock. This...

I don't know if this has ever been posted before, but I thought it was pretty funny. One more thing you won't see often in America... :p http://www.collegehumor.com/?image_id=105608 ps. That's in Israel right? pss. I think we should also feel fortunate that we don't have to take...

Just like the title says, can an 1100 stock fit onto an 11-87? Thanks for any help!

I've got an 11-87 premier trap that I want to start shooting sporting clays with, but is has the monte carlo stock that I used for trap on it. I just want some sort of standard/field type stock instead of the high-comb stock I have now. I don't want one of the synthetic stocks that I see...

I'm a really big fan of Max Popenker's website, and I was wondering if there is any sort of equivalent website for the old revolvers and rifles of the Old West? I'd be interested in looking at pictures and specs like what Max has for modern weapons, and some sort of flavor text explaining why...

It's a long ways off, but it's one of my ideal to have an indoor pistol range in a house that I have built so that I could just go do some shooting whenever I felt like it (this would probably be in town, but who knows, it's a long ways off :p ) I was wondering if any folks from the High Road...

I've got an 11-87 Premier Trap and a 870 Express Magnum and I was curious if the 870's buttstock would work on the 11-87. The 11-87 has some funky monte carlo stock that works fine enough for trap but one of my dad's buddies wants to go for sporting clays and I feel like I'd want something a...

I'm not trying to be a troll or anything here, but when I was looking at some old threads about movies it seemed like half the people on these forums were in love with the movie "Heat", so I rented it. There were a couple REALLY good gun segments of the movie, but I thought the rest was...

This one has bothered me for a while... I don't really use slugs for anything but in case I did, what chokes can I use with them? I don't figure you can use them with full chokes and the like, so I thought I would check.

About a month ago, my dad bought a used 11-87 Premier Trap for me to use this year as a sort of early graduation present. I enjoy shooting with and the gun has worked great. He got a pretty good deal on it from a guy he works with who deals in a lot of hand guns and other firearms. The...
