I recently purchased a Ruger BlackHawk in 327 Federal Magnum. This really a sweet gun to shoot. The problem is that there isn't a lot of molds out there for 32 cal.
I know that NOE is doing a 32 cal 115 gr RN. (Too bad I'm not on the list for one.)
I would like to go one step further and add a gas check to the bullet to take full advantage of the 327's capabilities.
Is there anyone else interested in such a mold?

Keep your eyes open for an old Lyman 311316 mold. There are lots of them around, and it is a perfect boolit for what you describe.

One of the gun rags did an article on the .327 and it did not fair well with cast. Don't mean to upset your apple cart. Most guns will shoot anything given enough testing to find the right combination.

My 327 is absolutely a fine performer using 311316 sized .313, checked and lubed at 115 grains over a healthy charge of A#9. I'm still doing load development and it looks good!!!!!!

Look at Ranch Dogs offering. A 30-115 fp for the 32-20. Plan on trying it in my Blackhawk

Look in the Vendor Sponser Sales, I think there's a Keith boolit from NOE. I have a 313640 and am happy with it. There's several variations to try with the hollow points, flat point, checked, plain base, then there's lubes. BAC, CR, 2500, Speed Green, etc. So far I've had the best accuracy using a gas check on the #2 hollow point using Speed Green, & 2400. I think there's also a 327 Sledgehammer in the works in Active Group Buys. I'm still on the fence with it. I just took possesion of 2 Ruger 45 Bisleys and can't decide on which mold to go with, the 327 or 270 for the 45. Soo many toys and sooo little money.
Here's a link on some information about the 327 in a Blackhawk.
