Hope to shoot the gun next week some time when I see my friend who has a very large .32 collection. In .327 Federal I have a LCR 2", Jack Huntington converted Model 53 6" and a FA 97 6.5".....just sold off a SP-101 3" and GP-100 4.25".. Also have a Ruger Single-Six 3.5" Birdshead stainless in .32 H&R Magnum. Have thought about selling it and buying a Single-Seven model but this one shoots so good and right to the sights with 85 grain ammo I hate to take the chance. So now the question becomes do I rechamber the 16-4 to .327, get an extra cylinder or just shoot it as a .32 H&R.... Since this gun is worth a lot of money as original and probably won't get much field time I am leaning to just leave it as is.... Bob You probably should not rechamber that one!

...no, after shooting it was just too nice...that and for me the .327 is more of small game hunting round and prefer longer barrels to get the most out of the extra powder... I have one snubbie left in .327, a LCR, and it may go....
That said Ruger is going to bring out a LCRX3 in .327 and I will probably get one of them... Sold the 3" SP-101 as it was just too much of a brick for its size...

I shoot .32 H&Rs out of my 16-4 that Mr. Bowen converted to .327 and it does just fine.
My take is that the conversion actually adds to the value.

Did you have the original cylinder bored out or a new cylinder added?
