Ruger LCR in .327 Fed Mag

[MindfulMan]

Does anyone have any leads on 327 gel tests out of the LCR snubby?

I'm interested in buying one, but I feel like the Gold Dot is the only option. I saw a video of the owner of DoubleTap testing his load, but it wasn't with a clothing barrier and I didn't believe the velocity he stated.

I saw a report with gel tests on Lucky Gunner.

The video I put up in post #50 has some gel tests. One thing that surprised me was how well the .32 Long wad cutter did. It constantly went 16-17 inches in gel.

I personally carry the 100 gr. Buffalo Bore H.P.'s that I posted about earlier in this thread.

I inherited a Ruger GP100 from my father in this caliber and really don’t know anything about it. I hadn’t planned on shooting it but I think I will now after reading this thread. Seems kinda interesting

I was able to shoot this in almost pitch black tonight. What a fireball! The ammo was the 100 gr Buffalo Bore JHP's.

Lucky Gunner just did gel testing on 32 Cal (32 Long, H&R Mag and .327 Mag) revolver loads and published the results. Pretty interesting.

I can't remember what load I bought my daughter in 32 H&R. I may have it posted somewhere up thread.

I know I've had her try the .327 Federal Magnum Speer Gold Dots. They're hot! She didn't like shooting those out of the LCR.

The 32 longs in full wadcutter were very consistent. BBI likes them for 38. I think they would be a decent option for those that are really recoil sensitive.

327 Federal 85gr shot around 1200 fps from a 3" barrel.
100gr bullet and a 2" barrel will be much slower I'll guess around 1,000 fps.
I think the 90-110gr 38 special offerings match or may actually have more velocity.

Are they offering the 327 with the 3" barrel? With a 3" barrel I'd be interested in one.

SP101 comes in 3" or 4" and adds a little weight. I like the weight of the steel frame for the magnum rounds.

I've sort of had an interest in the 327 SP 101 lately. Remember when the 32 H&R came out and seemed like a decent round

They are very nice revolvers.
I really like mine.
