Still around, but a failure to launch in my opinion.
I sort of doubt it. My Single Six 32 mag cylinder measures 1.406" and the 32-20 round overall length is shown to be 1.592". That would mean the bullet of the 32-20 round would stick out of the front of the cylinder.For certain some single-sixes were made 32-20/32 H&R.
For a while I really wanted a Henry BBS carbine in .327, but if I'd gone ahead it would just be gathering dust now anyway.
It all depends. Even just with factory loads, the lighter 85-grain Hydra-Shoks or American Eagles work well in the LCR. The heavier factory loads have been fine in either the 4" or 6" revolvers.There was a thread recently on another forum regarding the follies of trying to reload 22 rimfire ammo. The results were to say the least horrible. Now a 32 caliber revolver and carbine??? Easy! The only hard part is finding primers at a reasonable cost!!! I agree the 32 magnum loaded hot to around 1250fps is a much more pleasant all around loading than the factory loaded 327. 115 grain cast bullets are about perfect for the chambering. For reloaders who cast, this caliber is about as fun as any other. I'm not usually a long barrel revolver guy but the single seven with a 7 inch barrel or 16 inch henry is what I believe would be best as a field gun where the chambering should excell. A 4 inch GP100 is not the ideal platform for the cartridge.
dgludwig said:Taurus recently introduced another .327 Magnum (s/s) revolver to the market. If they ever offer it with a 3" barrel and a spurless hammer, I'd be first in line.
The statements above make it appear that Taurus has only recently discovered the .327 Federal Magnum cartridge. I have a .327 Magnum by Taurus that I bought something like ten or twelve years ago. It's kind of a piece of junk, and it took a LOT of work to make it fire more than one shot per day, but it is .327 Federal Magnum, and it was made by Taurus.TruthTellers said:No, the .32 is not dead, it takes time to build a base when so few companies make guns for it, however with Taurus and Charter getting into the mix with revolvers we may beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel where .32 and .327 Magnum can come out from under the bus.
