.32 H&R magnum Vs .327 Federal Magnum

1
I found a used Ruger SP 101 in what I thought was .327 Federal Magnum. It turns out that it is actually chambered in .32 H&R Magnum.

Looking at load tables, 327 Fed is about 300 fps faster across the board. .32 H&R tops out at about 1200 fps.

Any opinions out there? I had been set on the 327 Fed, but maybe the difference between the 2 cartridges is splitting hairs too finely.

Thanks.

Did you already buy 327 brass?
I ordered.327 brass from starline this weekend. I think I can call first thing tomorrow and change the order.

I don't really want to spend the extra $200.00 or so to get the .327 new. So I'll stay the course...

One of these days I'll think about the cost of getting into a new cartridge when I buy a new firearm. I probably will end up spending about the same as that new 66 combat in .357....

I second that on the Hornady defensive in H&R. But avoid Federal--I had a lot of split cases-- so bad I had to tap them out with a dowel and hammer. Federal sent me two more boxes but I am scared to try them.

Lehigh make a wonderful 32 cal bullet called the Xtreme Cavitator. They will meet FBI penetration standards from a 32 acp. You might want to check them out. (Yes this is in a 32 acp, but you can buy the bullets and reload yourself)

Every time you post this you remind me of how much I want a Seecamp. I'm not made of money, you can't keep doing this to me.

YOU'RE TEARING ME APART LISA!
