.327 Federal?
anyone have any input on this round?

I shoot a .32 mag, and really enjoy it. My opinion on the .327 is it will be quite load because of the high pressure, like the .357, and the only gun I see suitable for it is the SP101. I use my SP101 .32 mag as a small game getter, mostly carry it when coyote hunting.

i saw cabelas has a revolver chambered in .327 federal on sale for $699 dollars. never heard of it. then again i don't usually stay up to date on the latest greatest calibers, so......

It's simply a .32 mag at higher pressure stretched so it will not fit in a .32 mag. Think .38 special/357 mag.

My buddy has one. I think the model is a sp101, "i don't follow ruger guns much" so i think that's the right model. I have shot his twice on the range. I have never been a huge 32 fan. But i like his 327, 6rds if i remember right. Low recoil and it shot dang good! If you get one. I would be happy to ask him what the loads he is shooting. For me i will still take a 38spl over the 327. It is by far the best 32 cal out there

+ one other thing that was nice. Is that his 327 had adjustable windage to it. So he has it sighted in dead nuts! Most of the rugers that i have been around, are fixed sights.

Back in the day.. Most everyone I knew pulled the 283 and 327 out of their Camaro and put a 350 in!

327's are for sissy's that can't handle a 357mag. 

Here's a pretty good write up.

Not certain but I think I remember ICEMAN had or was wanting one awhile back. He might have some info. I considered it before I bought my .357 but didn't go that route.

Already have the manly man's .357 covered, Steve.

I know that Josh.. I guess the 327 just doesn't do anything for me since the 32H&R, 32-20 were already available (available in a Ruger single action even), and the 38spl can be fired from a 357mag. Sort of a reinvention of the wheel.  I hated all the commercial hype for a personal defense gun with less recoil, but nearly duplicates the knockdown power of a 357mag. Which is BS. It has less recoil because it shoots a much lighter bullet and is barely the equivelent of a 9mm in a revolver. It's kinda like seeing a long bed Toyota SR5 of the 80's that said, '1 ton' on the tailgate.  Uh... No.. Not for me.

I'm no big fan of the 338 Federal either.

Well this thread is worthwhile then. I found what I thought may be a screaming deal on a .327 Fed revolver but think I will pass for now.
Thanks.

I think the benefit of the new 327 is fitting 6rds where only 5 fit before...think J-frame.
Not a bad little cartridge, really.
I bet ammo isn't sitting at Walmart right now.
