.327

Does anybody own one of these?

I learned a lesson last winter, always wear my reading glasses when buying ammo.

My son's thought was "lets just buy another gun" ..my thought is lets trade for ammo we can use.

I'd sure like to see a lever action model 92 made in this caliber.

If you own a handgun in this caliber, how do you like it?

PM me if you need ammo

Post in the "Ammo and Reloading" section, all sorts of nutsy ammo there.

Are you inquiring about the .327 Federal Magnum?

It is a lengthened and strengthened .32H&R Magnum
which was a lengthened/strengthened version of the .32S&W Long
which was a lengthened version of the .32SW

Each longer version can fire the previous shorter version.

The .327 Federal Magnum is suppose to provide light bullet .357Mag type performance with lower recoil and blast. It was a joint development between Federal and Sturm Ruger.

Are you inquiring about the .327 Federal Magnum?

Yes, ever since I made the mistake and got a good look at these rounds I have been interested. I have yet to talk to anybody that has a gun in this caliber.

I have a Ruger SP101 in .327mag. It's loud, feisty and spits back at you in that caliber, BUT it also takes .32 S&W long, which is what I practice with (cheaper, quieter, tamer, and less blow-by). It takes .32 S&W and .32 H&R magnum as well.

The SP101 is out of production, but the heavier (thus less snap) GP100 still seems to be available.

I recently saw a Blackhawk in 327. Pretty sure it was a 5 or 5.5" barrel in stainless and 8 shot.

I would have nabbed it on the spot if I'd ever seen any ammo anywhere. It looked cool & fun.

While I do not own a gun in .327, I have shot a friend's Ruger SP101. I believe e has a 4 inch barrel. I found it to be dead nuts accurate at 20 yards. I was going to buy one but the limited supply of .327 magnum ammo (in 2010) made me pass. It is a great round. Supposedly is close to the .357magnum in stopping power.
