327 Fed Mag Lovers

[lbaize3]

Ruger has just announced a new SP101 in 327 mag. It is a 4.2 inch and looks great. I know they had had problems with the 327 in earlier SP101 revolvers. I figure they have it fixed now. I called my local gun dealer and put in an order for the first one he can get....

[dilly]

I would like to read more about the aforementioned problems. Does anyone have a link to any information about it?

It's on the Ruger websight. And a bit of a description here. http://www.guns.com/2015/03/30/ruger...01-in-327-mag/

Bud's has two .327 federal models in stock--"single sevens" in different Bbl lengths.

I handled one at a gunshow and they're sweet.

I have the Taurus 3272SS 6-shot .327Fed/mag and I absolutely love that pistol.
I'm glad Ruger has introduced this, but mainly because I want to see the .327fed/mag continue.
Most every other maker, including Taurus, has discontinued this caliber.

I just wish someone would produce it in a lever action carbine.

I think I want one of these! I have 2 Single Sevens which I greatly enjoy, but this is the kind of gun that the 327 was made for. A nice mid-weight, kit-gun pf adequate barrel length that you can take afield with burdening yourself, this seems like the perfect vehicle for this cartridge.

I'd like to know also what the issues were too.

Damn you enablers. I ordered one today, well backordered it anyway. I have two Single 7s and their shortcoming is the short cylinder. Frame size is perfect but you're limited w/ the longer heavyweight bullets. Now Marlin needs to get their act together and turn out an 1894 action chambered in 327 Federal

[Jeff Michel]

I imagine the LGS will be seeing me tomorrow. Now if Ruger would make a 77/327.......................................

[Fergie]

Well, that just put my .45 Colt plan on hold.

Talked with my LGS and he is putting in a request for one shortly.

I'll be darned, Ruger paid attention and in a short amount of time too!

This makes all that .32 reloading I just finished that much better.

Dilly,

I have also heard of problems with the .327 SP101 but have not experienced any problems with mine. However, I have probably shot less than 500 rounds of factory ammo and full power handloads, preferring to use .32 S&W long for most of my shooting.

Yes, yes and yes. Or even Rossi for that matter....something in a rifle chambered in 327 FM...anything!

I've been trolling for an 1894 in 32 H&R just to kill it's value and have it converted. Unfortunately they are rare and prices reflect this

You and me both then. I found one online via Cabela's, and called that day only to be told that it had sold a few days prior and the website wasn't updated.

I've also looked at the roof rifle option after seeing some of the beautiful pieces here, but don't have time for the project.

Cest la vie....and patience.

Agree on both points. I still haven't gotten a Single Seven yet because of the short cylinder but I noticed the fellow at Accurate molds has two 100 grain designs, one SWC and the other a TC, specifically to fit the Single Seven. That'll work for me but I wish that cylinder was just a wee bit longer.

[dilly]

Do you guys think the SP101 327 kit gun will have the overly short cylinder?

How was the cylinder on the previous SP101 in 327FM?

[dragon813gt]

It will have a regular length cylinder. Technically the Single 7 has a regular length cylinder. It's just regular length for that frame which makes it a little short for the 327.

[dilly]

This gun interests me a lot. I had the 357 kit gun but wound up trading it (greatly to my advantage). Anyway I already have a custom holster for it... so I may as well buy the gun, and the shell plate, and a mold or two, and the dies, and some extra LNL bushings, and a batch of brass.

Would anyone be interested in a similar firearm but made from a LCR (the stronger ones like the 357 magnums and 9mm frame)? The LCR-X in 38 special is kind of neat but I don't really have any interest in 38 specials while I have so many 357's. I wonder how much lighter they could make it than this SP101?

Maybe an LCR-X in 327FM...

[lefty o]

the sp101 cylinder is plenty long for the .327 .

[A pause for the COZ]

Love my Taurus M327 for carry and I really love my Single 7 5 inch. But yes the cylinder length issue
does rare its head on occasion.
I have a Accurate molds 5 cavity 100gr mold that works fine.

This GP101 offering may just be the optimum platform for the 327 mag.
As such, I will be ordering one as soon as one shows on Gun Broker or Buds.
Given up on my LGS ever getting in what I want. He had his chance and blew it with the Single7.
So he will get a transfer fee.
