i own a ruger gp100 327 fed mag revolver , I found some 32 h&r mag data on the reloading pages of md smith for 4227 . right now im loading a lee .314 90 gr swc bullet over 9.5 gr of 4227 and it shoots great a little on the dirty side but still a very good shooter I cent remember off the top of my head but I think max was 10 or 10.5 gr for 32 h&r . so I looked at his 327 data and couldn't find anything with 4227 . I was thinking of going a couple grains hotter with same bullet in a 327 case? I was wondering if by chance anyone has tried this? I know the 327 fed mag isn't a real popular cartridge but personally im kinda fond of it any input ??

I personally wouldn't go hotter before simply trying the max 32 mag load in the 327 case then if I needed to, work up from there. The site you mention lists H110 for the 327, which is real close to 4227 so I would consider that. It's really not safe to recommend anything that deviates from published load data but on that site, there is enough info for me to be shooting 4227 in my 327.
