Just got off the phone with Freedom Arms. They are shipping out my 327/32 mag. tomorrow morning. When I ordered it they said 12 weeks, it was only 9 weeks.  |

That's great. A few years back I had them build me a 327 Federal/32-20. I don't buy the "no 32 Magnum in 327 Cylinders" but to each their own.
You'll have a great gun...

I love the 32 Magnum. But, I have no issues firing it in my 327 Federals either. I've fired shorter cartridges in Magnum Chambers since 1979 with no issues.
Then again, I think there is something wrong with folks that don't keep their guns clean too.

 JT’s picture. Very nice John! Chip, I have a dual cylindered FA 97 in 327 Fed Mag and 32 H&R Mag as well. Only thing stopping me from adding a third cylinder in 32-20 is the price of round trip shipping to Wyoming! Well, that and the price of the cylinder! Grips are one piece snakewood by Roy Fishpaw. Grip frame converted to two-piece and reshaped by Hamilton Bowen. Tim  |

Tim, I was thinking of adding the 3rd cylinder, but the money held me back. Your gun is very nice, love the grips!! Chip, I have a dual cylindered FA 97 in 327 Fed Mag and 32 H&R Mag as well.

Another FA97 327 shooter here. How did you order yours? Mine has a 5.5" barrel, Black Micarta, Action Job, and fluted cylinder.
If you cast, take a long look at the MP Sledgehammer GCHP. Of course, the 314-640 115gr GCHP mold is another winner. I use AA9 the most but will use H110, HS6 and N350. In short, there aren't too many loads that won't shoot well. I'd love to have gotten some of the Speer 115 grain Gold Dots....
I originally put a 1 MOA Trijicon SRO on mine, then wanted to see just what it would do and put a Leupold 2.5-8 on it. Impressive it is but it's bigger brother (83 in 357 Magnum) can usually edge it out in accuracy.
