That is a beautiful gun. Does it have the stock cylinder length? What heavies are you shooting in it? Deep seated? Well, for me, my 120 grn bullets are heavy. Has the original factory cylinder. That's ok with me as is accurate as any line bored gun I own. The bullets came from X-Calibers and are built perfectly for this gun. Sort of a LFN design. They are no longer in business, but I bought 5k before they folded. I had a Huntington 32-20 planned, but likely will axe the idea. This is a do all 32 Caliber. Every bit as accurate as my FA97 327 Federal/32-20...

Thanks encore64. Yeah I tried to buy a few of those X-caliber bullets must have been right after he went out of business. I'd sure like to find a 120 or so grain bullet that fits the cylinder and shoots well in my Single Seven and my Henry. Just haven't been able to do any loading with these yet. I have an SP 101 and a GP that will easily handle heavier bullets so I may well settle on the RCBS 98 in the SS and the Henry.

Look AT MBW they have a 120 gr under there 327 cal...Also look under there 32-20 list I like there 125 they do make a 135 as well....

Even works in my Clements 327 Federal Bearcat.

The Stainless Gun that Dave just finished has the best trigger of any revolver I've ever fired. e64, that looks awesome! Love the contrast on the finish. Glad it's shooting well for you. Your comment about the trigger rings true for me as well. David has worked on several of my revolvers, and they all have very good triggers, but the trigger work he did on my Single Seven is also the very best I own. Funny how that works.

Hoping my Clements Blue Bisley will be ready soon.
These are some fine shooting guns. Just about the optimum of 32s I'd wager.

Todd Corder has an excellent 120 grain class cast bullet. I believe he sells them both cast as well as the mold. If my memory is working I knocked down a small to medium size hog at 74 yards with my 327 using it. It’s as accurate as any bullet I’ve tried in my many 32s.

As stated earlier, my stainless gun has throats just under .314". I can not see any accuracy difference between cast sized .313" or .314".
Neither is there any leading with either size.

First post. VERY nice. I have a 7 1/2" S7, too. All I did was put some Wolffe springs in it, though. Same with the 4 5/8" (my EDC around the ranch here)S7, and, I just couldn't help it, the 3 3/4" bird's head grip S7. Sent the Marlin 1894CB off to RPP for chamber reaming and action job. That turned out real nice. I got a five cavity, .315, 130gr SWC mold to size to .314 (my Drip-o-matic has been acting out being heated up in summer, so no results to report yet), and expect they will do well with that boolit. I sort of discovered the .32s (with a Single Six .32 H&R magnum) about ten years ago and rarely fire anything else anymore. However, just yesterday, I took possession of a Charger TD, tricked it out with folding brace and red dot, and had a ball ringing steel out back with it. Also, a Uberti Stallion .38 Target, the poor man's Colt New Frontier. Gorgeous, great shooter, couldn't be more pleased. They were a nice diversion, but I'll continue to tout the .327 Federal Magnum, probably the most versatile yet under-rated revolver round out there. I like a single action that carries like a .22, shoots like a .38, and hits like a .357. Yessirree.

I don't refer to my Uberti Flattop Target Revolvers as "Poor Man's Colt." I have a couple Colt New Frontiers and my Uberti Revolvers blow them away. They are more a smart man's revolver to me.

Really nice looking and better yet, nice shooting! The blue version is a few weeks out. I hope it's half as good and I'll be satisfied.
