You guys sorted me out good on the last 327, so I want your guys opinions again!
I want another revolver. I kinda want one in 327 again (single seven is calling to me), but I also realize I would really like a target revolver with open sights used to plink my steel plates at 100 yards. Why not scratch both itches with one gun!
Originally liking the shorty birdshead, I’m thinking a better gun would be a single-series Ruger with a nice long barrel. I like fixed sights and would set it up purpose specific. Dial a load then file a front sight that was dead on at 100 yards then just use it to plink steels.
Thing is, not really any long barrel single sevens, BUT there are long barrel single sixes. Only issue is they are in 32HR which I don’t want, and punching open to 327 limits OAL to 1.4”. Which isn’t necessarily a problem, but certainly not ideal…
Still, seems the best way forward. What would you do, wanting a 327 fed to plink out to 100? Is a 5” single seven going to do more for me than a >7.5” single six punched out to 327 but max OAL of 1.4”?
And after sorting the revolver, what about bullet choice? I normally go with a LFN or WFN with lots of driving band and an ogive that goes full diameter, no step like a SWC. That kind of bullet seems to stay accurate the farthest in other revolvers I shoot. But any of you shoot your 327’s to 100 and have a favorite bullet?
