I cannot find any at Midway. I was wondering if the dies for 32 Colt or 32 H & R Magnum would work? Is the 327 Mag just an enlogated version of the 32 H & R or is it a whole new beast?

Also no cartridge cases available. My buddy just got a 327 Charter Arms 6 Shooter and he wants me to load some rounds for him but I am stymied by the lack of components. Anybody want to chime in here?

CC, from my understanding of the round the 327 is just a long 32 h&r mag. I haven't loaded one, shot one, or seen one, just from what I've read, it's the same, just longer, so therefore, if this is true and 32 h&r die set would work.

32 H&R dies will work- I think Redding is making some 327 specific dies. For once fired brass, keep checking this website.... http://www.brassworldeshop.com/oncefiredbrass.aspx

I was loading some 32 H&R MAG ammo about an hour ago and decided to see if I could resize the 327 Federal brass .

It was my understanding that these dies would work fine but I had yet to try any !

Well to make a boring story short . My RCBS 32 S&W / 32 H&R MAG dies worked fine for resizing the 327 Federal brass .:drinks:

Does anyone know if there are molds to cast the bullets for a .327 mag? If I could find said molds, I'd probably buy myself one - I love the idea of this weapon...

I use dillon dies on my 550 for 32 mag to load 327 Federal. I have a custom single six bisley by Alan Harton with a 6 inch barrel. I am shooting a 118 grain gas bullet at 1550 fps with
H110 under it with excellent accuracy and NO pressure signs.

Johnny, any .32 caliber boolit will work. It's the same diameter as the others. You will probably want one with a crimp groove, given the recoil factor. Check out the .32 Keith CatShooter has on the Group By list.
