woodpile,
What are your thoughts on the 327 Blackhawk? I just picked one up myself and I think that it has the potential to become my favorite revolver. I still need to shoot it first before I come to a final opinion about that. I think that I'm gonna really like these 32's as I have already placed a 327 GP-100 on lay-away as well. The GP and the BH will make a great "pair" of 32's to shoot and load for. I picked up 6 boxes of Federal Personal Defense ammo for it when I bought the BH (I paid too much @ $18/box but at least I have something to shoot for now).
The 327 Fed Mag is kind of an odd yet interesting loading. I think that's why I like it. You know, I like it for similar reasons that guys like 41 mag's and 44 spl's, I guess. The 32's also seem to have that similar "cult following" in a way.
What, would you guys think, is the largest game that could be hunted with a 327? I bought the Blackhawk as kind of a plinker. However, I have been hearing about some stout 327 loads that some folks have been working on.....loads stout enough for medium-sized, thin-skinned game. The BH ought to be able to handle a fairly amped-up 327 load if so desired. Now, before a thousand guys pile on the old, "why don't you just use a 44 mag for hunting?" comment, let me just say: bla bla bla. We've heard that one a million times. I am wanting to hear opinions, about the hunting limitations, of the 327 (and only the 327...not what it can be compared to).
So, what game could the 327 handle? Dare I say the d-word?
I'm going to say (at least for now): anything up to coyotes for the 327. What do you guys think?
Again, nice collection of 32's.....woodpile (your stainless birdshead single-six, that you have there, is on my short list).
