6" GP-100 .327 Fed Mag

[magpouch]

I have been a pretty big fan of the .327 Federal magnum since Ruger brought out the SP 101 and GP100 in that caliber a few years ago.  I got one of the GP's with the 4" barrel and really think its a great shooter.  A few weeks ago I got a new GP with a 6" barrel and today I took it for a quick test drive.

Pretty happy with it.  I fired a few firelap rounds first, cleaning in between each shot and then had time to fire 4 cylinders full of the 140 grain sledgehammers loaded on top of a compressed charge of WC-297. Pretty happy so far and can't wait to spend some time with that load and this revolver.

That's great news. Congratulations on adding a great one to your battery.

I bought the 5" blued gun and very happy with it

Hooe to hear more reports in the future.

Nice gun...

I'm thinking about selling off an older adjustable sight 3" SP-101 and buying a 4" stainless or 5" blue. Already have a 6.5" FA 97 and a custom 6" S&W 53 and am leaning toward the 4"...

Just got my Sledgehammer mold last week and will be casing today...

A lot more fun round than the .38/.357....

Nice revolver! Mine has been flawless and has shot everything I have fed it from a 100 grain WFN to the 140 grain 314-140, they are not only all tack drivers, but all to the same POI! Heavy loads of AA#9 and H-110 with a small rifle primer (205M) have been excellent,, good luck with the new 7 shooter,,

I have a new 3' SP-101 fixed sights that I haven't shot yet. When I did have my old 4" SP-101 I got the best velocity/accuracy from 2400. I got to look at a 4" GP-100 in a LGS and it was a very nice gun.
