See what you .32 enablers made me do

[Thumbcocker]

Initial results are promising. Shoots .32 long and magnums pretty well. I am pleased. Don't know if I will load .327's or not.

I have one of those, and I like it. Haven't loaded any 327's yet, still playing with 32 mags. Just looking for a woods carry gun.

[Silvercreek Farmer]

Nice shooter!

Be careful. They are addicting!

I have one like the OP's. In my gun I have found that I get the best accuracy using 327 starline brass.I have tried 32H&R Federal brass and have never been able to get the same accuracy as the 327 brass.I only shoot lite loads in my SP101.My favorite load is 3.7 grs. of Bullseye using a NOE copy of the RCBS 103 gr. boolit.

Your off to a good start. Now you have to remember you need another for the other hand.

A man--or woman--could do a heck of a lot worse. I have one and think it a dandy, but a set of springs and shims really make it shine.

Agreed, a shim kit and wolf sping kit help a lot. Also a pretty easy revolver to break down and polish up trigger parts. I even took a ceramic to the SA sear.

[P Flados]

The spring kit was a game changer for the gun.

For ammo, it really does shoot better with 327 brass.

I load everything from 55 gr pop gun loads to palm slappers in 327 cases.

With the .327 magnum revolvers, you would get better accuracy using .327 cases. It moves the bullets more closely to the barrel and rifling thus reducing the bullet jump effects.

I have 2 of the SP-101's in 327. They shine, as the old timers used to say. I have never tried them with anything less than full power 327's. I have a plethora of 32 revolvers chambered for the older 32 revolver cartridges, consequently the new stainless guns see only what they are labeled for.

I don't have a 327 yet but i a addictided to 32s love them all sw swlong acp and hr mag. But still missing a 327.

[Green Frog]

i've got the big 8 shot Blackhawk in 327 and it is most respectable with those warmish loads i like. The DA Ruger the OP found will also be a strong platform for the caliber and should serve him quite well. FWIW, my other 327, the custom K-frame S&W, gets more of the mild loads in 32 Long and H&R.

Don't worry. You can quit .32's any time you want. Just ask anyone here.

[charlie b]

I quit successfully! It took a lot of effort and a year of withdrawal, but, I finally let go.

Each time I go to the range or reloading bench the effects are less and less. Not having to find those small cases tossed about at the range, or fumbling with those tiny cases and bullets when reloading.

If I still went out after jackrabbits I'd probably have kept that 1903.

[TNsailorman]

Very nice Colt. Deleted rest of the post because it had nothing to do with the OP's post.

[jonp]

The more I shoot my matched set of Ruger "Baby Vaq's" the more I like them. Welcome to the club

[megasupermagnum]

32 H&R is a good cartridge, but the smile factor goes all to 327 federal. Having previously shot 32 acp, I didn't expect 32 S&W long to be much more. After shooting some boomer 327 federal loads, I tried 32 s&w. My uncle had bought a single seven with a bunch off ammo, and some 32 s&w magtech ammo was in there. He made a comment how it must be good, as the poor guy had paid $32 for a box. The first shot went pfffeh. My uncle and I laughed for a good minute before checking that the bullet did actually make it out of the barrel. I think it's just a bad batch of ammo, although it is comical just how big of a step up full power 327 federal ammo can be. It does seem that 327 ammo is more accurate than 32 h&r when used in a 327 chamber, although I'm sure there are plenty of ways to work around it. It is only an extra .125" gap.

[RED BEAR]

If your talking about 32sw the short ones then pfffeh is bout right heard cap guns louder. But they are fun to shoot very little powder and lead and guns can be had really cheap. The sw lemon squeezer can get a little pricey if you want an hr ivor johnson us arms ect. They can be had in good shape for well under 100 dollars on gunbroker. Have a shelf full of them in safe.

I enjoy my SP-101 x 4.2' in 327 Federal very much. I load full-tilt eardrum-splitters and "32 S&W Long +P" (RCBS 32-98-SWC @ 950 FPS) mostly, both are VERY accurate loads. I have a Wolff kit sitting on the work table, and I will get around to installing it eventually. The D/A and S/A trigger strokes are smoothing out over time.
