Just a few rounds because it had been 12 hours at work, but I didn't have the gun-shy dog with me so I figured no time like the present.

Nothing fancy, a can at ~50'. The 327 rounds (85 grain) shot pretty high, surprisingly so even accounting for the magnum round (my 44 mag does the same but less so, heavy bullet I guess). My 44 shoots magnums maybe 4" high at can distance, this one was 8" or more at a guess. 32 S&W long was spot on, pistol is a honey with those.

I do like the 327's for recoil. Potent but not hand smackers out of a 3 3/4" barrel. Like a lighter 44 special from my 4 5/8". Could shoot the longs all day with no worries other than cost.

Nice piece. I like the birdshead grip a lot too. Grips I made for it are fatter at the bottom than factory, naturally I give that a lot of credit :mrgreen:

Thanks for report, 32 mag for me in the 327, mostly because i have so much brass. Need more experimentation with more bullet weights.
