Got one of these in 2010, but don't shoot it much. Prefer my Single Seven. What is the market out there?
 
Check gun broker completed listings, but they've been going 800, 900 and up, depending on bidders.
 
The bigger 327 is quite a beast when you pair it up with the 135 grain Miha Sledgehammer Hollowpoint or the 154 grain Flying Fist. The Sledgehammer can crowd 1500 fps and the Flying Fist can crowd 1400 fps. My tests on Jackrabbits with the Sledgehammer at even over 100 yards demonstrate instant kills that pretty much blow the engine block out of its compartment and even will take a leg off on the way out leaving the remains some difficult to pick up without getting goo on your boots.

The smaller S7 at it's best does just short of 1500 fps with the 7 1/2" barrel version with the much lighter 115 grain Miha HP. While it is still formidable in it's own right, the bigger gun is in a whole nother class.
 
I agree with Contender, I would want at least a thousand dollars for mine too. 700 is far too low. Look at the availability, there just aren't that many for sale, even on gun broker. I saw one a few years ago and if I remember correctly it sold for $1,500.

Hey, where do you buy the heavier bullets? I can only find 100 and 115 grain bullets. But then where do you find loading data for the 154 grain bullets?

Mhblaw: if you do sell yours i bet people would appreciate you trying to sell it here first.
 
Think hard before you sell it. It's like land - "They ain't makin' anymore.". That is the most unlikely configuration to make a comeback. I like all my 327's and 32's but I know they aren't for everyone. It is really a cartridge best suited for reloading. I would be interested in the extra heavy bullets as well. Rim Rock sells a 125 or 130 gr. cast swc. Data would be an issue but someone has done development, probably on castboolits website.

Offer it here on the Classifieds if you decide to selling it. Lots of folks here looking for these and the GP100.

Good luck,

I wouldn't part with mine for $1000.

I wouldn't part with my stainless Blackhawk or GP100 for $1,000 either - It would take much, much more to get my Two Tone Blackhawk.

I think I'll get the Two Tone out of the safe and drool for a few minutes. :mrgreen:
 
There is one listed on GB now with a buy it now price of $1,049 plus shipping and FFL. If I was looking for one I would own this one.
 
I got one earlier this year for just over $600 on Gunbroker. Just about completes my set other than the new shopkeeper that seems to be hard to find. That one is next!
 
I would love to have one. If i did, and made the decision to sell, I'd go straight to Gunbroker with it. You will get the best money possible for it that way.
 
Reeds Ammo in Oaklahoma may have some.

Thanks, and I checked, Reeds Ammo in Oklahoma does have the 140 grain bullets for 327. I think they were $15 for 100 cast lead on their web site.
 
Must have been for a plain base bullet, I don't think you could touch a gas checked one for that price. These bullets really need to be gas checked if you're going to make it sing!

You got a 327 Blackhawk for just over $600 or a Single Seven ? If it is a Blackhawk you got a very, very good deal.

yup, a Blackhawk. Already have all the single sevens but one...

Awesome! I got the Sevens, a couple of Blackhawks, a SP101 and a GP100. I'm having a hard time locating a Birdshead or a Henry Big Boy. I've seen both on GB but not willing to pay the $200 over MSRP yet. "Patience Grasshopper"
 
Yes I have all the .327's from Ruger except the birdshead Single Seven. That one seems rare already...
 
I sold a .327 BH a few years ago for right around $1000. I thought the gun was too heavy for the .327 round and got a S7 which I think is a much better fit for the round (IMHO). I really like the GP100 in .327 too.
