My buddy has one but has not fired it too much. Anybody have any experience with them? His is a Charter Arms 6 shooter in stainless. Seems to have a decent action and locks up tighter than a bank vault.

EllTee- Is his the target version? I'd sure appreciate a range report as I'm thinking hard about one of these.

I have one on a Custom Single Six by Alan Harton. I shoot a 118 grain GC at 1550 fps out of a six inch barrel with excellent accuracy and surprising power.

New Shooting Times has a fairly decent reloading article Featuring the 327 Federal

I just recently acquired a Taurus in .327. I have only fired about half a box of the 100 grain through it, but so far I am impressed. I look forward to more shooting with it.

Bret: Nah. just a straight groove on top of the topstrap. However I did buy it and it has a very decent single action trigger although only had less than a box full of ammo thru it.

I have a decent Lyman 311 mold for it and I have a set of Dillon Dies (luv them removable guts) that are costly but worth it as it makes cleaning out the LLA really easy and fast. I ordered two boxes of Federal el cheapo rounds ($25 a box) just to have some cases to work with. Nobody seems to have brass for this thing. Even .32 H & R Mag cases are backordered.

I have just received a new Lee Classic Turret Press and I intend to break it in making rounds for this new puppy. I gave my Taurus Ultralight 85 in .38 to a good friend and I know he will make good use of it. It was a good gun but he needed it more than me and when he buys another replacement for that .38 that was snitched it will come back to me.

In the meantime I have something to occupy my time whilst my leg bone heals.

How is retirement? Has it soaked in yet?

Sorry to hear about the leg, Crash. Hope it heals apace!
