327 magnum

[area51]

Anyone has one? Worth while getting one? The ballistics are pretty impressive.

i have several in varying barrel lengths and makes and they are all good shooters. It is a good journeyman's caliber and will get the job done if you train with it. Mine are Dan Wesson with multiple barrels , desert eagle with multiple barrels, Lama, Colt, etc. Like i said they are all good shooters but make sure you are comfortable with whatever you chose. Mine tend to be older ones.

Red,

I think that you're mixing up 327 magnum with 357 Magnum.

I have a stainless Ruger Single Seven in .327 FM. Love it. Accurate and fun to shoot. Has some pop when loaded up hot, but is not at all punishing like .357 Mag can be in a small revolver. Its just a range toy for me, not a field tool. A bit expensive to shoot commercial rounds, but I handload for it. I also shoot .32 H&R out of it. Loves Universal. Henry makes a lever .327

I don't own one but the ballistics are impressive - close to 9mm in energy - a bit more in some loadings. Versatility is also great.

It's a borderline wildcat cartridge so it's best suited for someone who reloads and is into obscure calibers.

Sorry about that and you are more than right. I just thought he had mixed up his numbers but it was me instead. Have no idea about this caliber and to be honest I do not think I have heard anyone talk about it. However it has my interest peaked. Thank you for correcting an old man. Again thank you Fjold

[nitroxdiver]

Never heard of this caliber either. Thank you for the eduction.

I think .327 is a great round. Seems to need a little barrel length to shine, just like a .357. I think if it was promoted more in that fashion rather than in snubbies it makes a lot more sense.

Most definetly.

I have a 32H&R mag in a Ruger Single Six.
It's not as long as the 327 magnum, but it will do.

That's an interesting crimp on the .327. Is that something that is unique to that caliber?

Looks like a Lee Factory Crimp.

The Marlin model 92 lever action in 32 caliber is one vintage rifle I would pay good money for IF it was chambered in 32 H&R mag or 327 Fed mag. Beautiful American vintage rifle with long octagon barrel and cresent butt stock. But alas 32 rim fire ammo has been out of production for a long time.

I'm betting quite a few people out there assumed this too. I'd never heard of the .327, so I as well learned something new today. Now I'm off to the pub to celebrate
