Can someone tell me if an 8 shot model 00353 is rare and if so the value of an "unfired in the box" one may be?

While not exactly super rare, they are very uncommon and highly sought after. A NIB one can be in the $1500 range. Check gunbroker for completed auctions for the most recent values.
There's one on gunbroker for sale now and the asking price is 2,500 which I think is ridiculous.....thanks for the info

Asking prices are one thing, but the advanced search will give you completed auction prices.
Yes you are correct (I'm 62 I know that)
....one sold for 1,600 in January this yearBad Barlow
Blackhawk
I don't think it will sell for that,but it does raise the " psychological " bar...
It may be like the gun you bought 10 yrs ago thinking it was too much

I've often thought "that guy didn't pay too much, just too early!"
Yes I've been that guy, and have no regrets.
The Blackhawk 327 is a versatile revolver that shoots full on 327 mag loads effortlessly and it will also shoot light target loads. One of our favorites is 32 S&W Longs with a 98 grain WC "hot rodded" (LOL) with 1.5 grains of powder. This load is very accurate even at 25 yards.
My Single Seven, SP101 and S&W 632-2 Pro all have no problem chambering 130 grain semi-wadcutters. I don't think you would want to go much heavier?
I guess that I never wanted to shoot that long of bullet anyway as my lighter bullets group better. But each to your own.

Where do you get those 153 gr projectiles?
I've had good results with "heavy " 32-20" bullets...
I have been casting bullets since the 70s and where I lived in PA, seeing a bullet mold at a garage sale was not that uncommon. Somewhere along the line I picked up a 30 cal 150 FNGC mold most likely for a 30-30 Win or similar. The bullets came out around 153 grains with gas check and without lube and were about 0.313-0.314".
We load for 3 guns in 327 mag; Ruger GP100, Ruger Blackhawk and a Henry rifle. The rounds for the Henry have to be 1.16 - 1.53" to work thru the action but the revolvers will shoot just about anything. We have molds from 95 grain wad cutter to 160 grain that will fit the 327.

All I have for my Single Seven are Federal AE 85 & 100 grain soft points and .32 S&W Long.
Those 100 grain cartridges are something else in that little wheel gun.

I just got one of those. Only 18 away from your s/n. I haven't shot it yet but like you I only have the AE 100 grain ammo. I have brass, dies and bullets on the way from Midway.
