I think the .327 Magnum is unfairly slept on. I'm waiting for S&W to release on of their new Ultimate Carry J Frames in .327.
.32 H&R seems way to weedy for me.

It's an interesting cartridge, one H&R came up with to save their Bacon, but it wasn't enough...Federal made their .327 Magnum (even longer than the .32H&R) but again, it just didn't fly even though it's an excellent cartridge for more diminutive shooters.... There's the .32 S&W Short, .32 S&W long, .32 H&R Mag, and .327 Federal. Ruger chambered their Single Six/Blackhawk's in the H&R and the Cowboy Action guys love it...The ".30 Super" (another one hit wonder) is ballistically equal to the H&R.
Something we've noticed with .32 Rifles: they'll either shoot very well or like shit...never any middle ground, so keep that in mind when you find a Winchester '94 in .32WS at a great price...not really a "dead cartridge" but certainly the 16 gauge of the Centerfire World.

I was all set to fire off an "achtshually"
About how the .30 Super Carry is closer to the .327 Magnum than the .32 H&R Magnum but no, upon some cursory research I found that the .30 Super Carry launches the same bullet weights at very close the the same velocities. Given the extremely high pressure of the .30 SC at up to 50,000 psi I find this nuts! I have newfound respect for the .32 H&R. Of course the ballistic performance of the .30 SC didn't exactly set the world fire and any revolver that is chambered for .32 H&R I'd much rather see in .327 Mag.
I still stand by my statement that the .327 is a much underrated cartridge that fills an important niche and deserves a wider acceptance.

I like the idea of a .32 mag, but there are only one or two revolvers that interest me, and not much at that.

My Brother has a Birdshead Ruger in .32 and it's really a sweet revolver to shoot...I suppose it would be satisfactory for small game, could probably take Deer at close range with a properly placed shot...House gun for someone on the small size...when H&R released it they had a small double action revolver for it about the same size as a Charter Arms revolver...I only have (1) .32 and it's and old S&W Hand ejector that belonged to my great grandmother; it's enjoyable to shoot, but not my first choice for anything.
