I've looked at several handguns designed for the 327 H & R Magnum.
Can somebody confirm my thinking or straighten me out?
In googling the 327 H & R cartridge and the 327 Federal cartridge, both are longer than the S & W 32 Long . . . .
The 327 Federal is longer (case) than the 327 H & R . . . ? (or so I believe I'm reading)
The 327 Federal is higher pressure - more like a 357 while the 327 H & R is more like a 38 sp +P . . .
If this is correct . . . can the 327 H & R cartridge be fired in a revolver designed for the 327 Federal? (Much like a 38 spl in a 357)
Can a 32 S & W short and long be fired in both a 327 H & R and a 327 Federal revolver?
It is my understanding that 327 H & R cartridges are a little on the expensive side and sometimes hard to come by? (compared to say 38 spl/9 mm). If I were to get the dies, is it feasible to get in to reloading the 32 S & W Longs for general use in the 327 H & R revolver? (I'm talking for general target practice/plinking).
Heritage makes a 327 H & R revolver. . . . is this cartridge going to "stick around" or is it going to "give way" to the 327 Federal for which I know Ruger produces handguns for?
I'm aware that the 327 Federal is a higher pressure cartridge and am basically looking at the 327 H & R revolver in terms of being able to reload and shoot the 32 S & W Longs . . . unless that's not a reasonable expectation.
Thanks.
