.327 Federal in a Ruger Single Seven.
Good morning Gents,
I'm back from my trip, but now I have a new project. A .327 Federal (I'm really impressed with this cartridge and I am lobbying hard for Ruger to bring it out in a Ruger/Marlin 94) in a Ruger Bisley Single Seven. Bobby says that the best shooting load is Buffalo Bore's .32 H&R Magnum with the SWC bullet.
Any recipies for loads in a Single Seven?

Nice looking rig there Scott. I've been toying with the idea of a Lipsey's Single Seven in 327 with a 4 5/8" barrel, but I have no brass or other components and this is about the worst time I can think of to find these necessities to get started.

Wear your ear protection! If that's a "walking around" shooter, you won't hear right for a long time, or maybe permanently, after busting a snake, or other critter of opportunity without your ears on.

Very nice revolver, Scott.
Blaine, why is it that the .30 Carbine, .32-20 and the .32 Magnums are so painfully loud?

Re: .327 Federal in a Ruger Single Seven.
Very nice.
If I'm not shooting a .32 H&R load in mine, it's not so loud, I've been loading a 100 LFNGC with 4.4 grs of Unique.
A .327 lever action carbine would sweet. I know Henry makes one, but haven't read anything good about it's accuracy.
Have fun!

Very nice. I had no clue they ran as fast as they do. I agree with Blaine, keep your hearing protection close by. I did see a 115 gr (.312 diameter) LRNFP load with 5.0 gr of W244 that ran 1,226 fps. It was the lowest pressure load listed at around 33K, the rest were all right about 40K of pressure. If you go jacketed LIL GUN will push it right up to 1,400 FPS.

I shot two cylinders full today. This was the first offhand at 25 yards.

I adjusted the rear sight two clicks up and repeated with the Federal American Eagle 100 gr soft point.

Re: .327 Federal in a Ruger Single Seven.
I've yet to do much with ours. Loaded up a few hundred rounds, mostly 32 SWL but thanks to the generosity of the men on this forum I also loaded up a bit of 327 Magnum and 32 H&R. But am waiting for the next time north when I'll present it to my darling wife. We had to leave her 32 in Brazil years ago, this one will replace it as "HER" resolver. That's some decent accuracy you're getting, looking forward to seeing what we can wring out of it. This little package with a 7 1/2" barrel would be quite the "reach out and touch a bunny" rig. But I've high hopes for the shorter barrel as well.

Mine is a shooter. But that Federal red box ammo is hotter than a firecracker!!!!

45,000 lbs, if you run things that hot you will deal with what comes along with it. There is no magic.
Re: .327 Federal in a Ruger Single Seven.
I bought a ruger sp101 3" in 327 as soon as they came out as I was always a fan of the 32H&R and my father before me. He bought an H&R 504 in 32H&R as soon as H&R introduced the gun and cartridge in the 80s. Everyone disses the H&R guns, but that 504 is very accurate!
Anyways, I haven't loaded for the 327 yet, but my friend gave me a magazine with some loads in it a year or so ago. If I can find it I'll share it with you. I know I bought some AA#9 for the purpose of loading for the 327, but that's all I remember.
Back when we still had a shooting range in town, my wife and I went one day and took several guns. When I started shooting the 327, everyone had to stop and come see what kind of cannon I was shooting! Those Federal 100gr flat nose are no joke!
I've seen posts online where guys have killed deer with the ruger single seven in 327mag.

Re: .327 Federal in a Ruger Single Seven.
I've read a lot of comments about the muzzle blast, flash and noise of the 327. Nonetheless it is still an interesting cartridge. I like the idea of loading the 327 case down a bit, to 32 H&R load level.

In a small EDC revolver...(LCR, por exemplé) you would have the advantage of an extra shot. 6 instead of 5.

Re: .327 Federal in a Ruger Single Seven.
I have one of those .327 LCRs. But I haven't shot it enough to be comfortable carrying it. The Gold Dot loading is certainly what I would carry on the street.
