Thinking of getting another Ruger Single Action, but going smaller than my usual .44 Magnum choice. I primarily use my revolvers to hunt small game. Between the above two choices, which is the flatter shooting of the two when the best loads are compared?
Thanks,
Danny

Both are great calibers I'm not a expert but my choice would be a single seven bisley.

If you don’t have a 357, I’d start there. But I’m partial to the 357. I have both. LOVE my S7 Bisley but I’d start with the 357.

I think it all depends if you reload or not. 357 ammo will be easier to find and probably cheaper. I think the single 7 bisley is light, handy, and an all around great gun, but it really shines if you reload and cast your own bullets. A shorty blackhawk in 357 would be nice.

I reload and don't have either set of dies/tools, yet... I am set on a regular Blackhawk only.

I don't cast bullets, but that could change.

They only made the 327 8 shot Blackhawk for a short period of time. They go for $800-$1000 when they come up for sale.

THE SINGLE 7 327 COMES IN A BLACKHAWK GRIP FRAME, ALBEIT ON A SINGLE SIX FRAME. SIXSHOT LOVES, AND USES, HIS 8 SHOT BLACKHAWK 327 A LOT. I REALLY LIKE MY 7 1/2 INCH FIRST ISSUE SINGLE 7. DEFINITELY EASIER AND CHEAPER TO GET INTO A 357 BUT FOR SMALL GAME I WOULD GO WITH A 327.

which is the flatter shooting of the two when the best loads are compared? This isn't a matter of opinion. Ballistics tables will readily point to the 327. |

Since the OP mentioned small game, and already having a 44mag, easy choice. I'd go with the .327. No 327's or 357's here.

If you are anything like the rest of us, you will have both calibers before long. Question is, which one do “I need” first. I have 3-327’s. My favorite is my gp100. I know not a single action.

I've done a whole lot with the 327 Federal. Never underestimate the GP100 in 327 Federal. It weighs about the same as a Single Seven, is a full sized gun and has a very long cylinder.
For someone not wanting to pay for a Custom or FA, it's a fine choice.
