Thanks 2 Dogs, I appreciate your responce. I think I will try a 312 barrel. Like I said, don't like sizing down to 308.

It will ease the pressure some on your cylinder and cases. Be sure and use Douglas, they have deeper lands and grooves than others I have tried.

Actually I was looking for 45 colt stuff when I ran across this thread. With the single sevens coming on I thought it deserved a bump.
Those scales on that Bisley are just out standing!

I am really glad to see the interest in this thread. Long been a fan of the 32s.
In rifles and handguns it still makes a lot of sense. I printed out some Paco Kelly data years back for heavy 32-20 WCF loads.
It is still the king, especially with Starline brass. But the 327 Federal housed in the Single Seven has my attention. It's a lot of power in a compact package.

Funny how quickly a post can get dated by the intro of a new sixgun. The new Single Seven might just do away with the need for a custom Single Six 327!

I believe you could be right. I just got in some 120 grn cast bullets from X-Calibers. The nose length is just right for the new Single Sevens.
Anxious to try some, maybe even HP a few and see how they work.
I have a friend who has dubbed my Single Seven as a "baby" 454 Casull. He may be right.

We all know no factory Ruger will replace the perfection and joy that a custom revolver can offer, plus the factory Single Six cylinder is limiting with what bullets can be run in the 327 case as the Ferminator bullet won't fit if you use the 327 case (works wonderfully in the 32 mag case). But it should be a grand platform to revive this undervalued cartridge that really is extremely useful as a practical feild gun. 100-135gr bullets at up to 1550fps? That's a lot of power in a very small package that won't bite from recoil or bank account depletions. |

With the velocity the 327 can produce it can certainly mimic the trajectory of the 454. |

I have been a 32-20/30-20 nut since about the time JD promoted the 300 whisper. I had both at one time on the TC platform, the 30-20 remains the rimless case is long gone. I have had the 30-20 doing what the whisper did with no rimless grief.
Since acquiring my buckeye the 32-20 cylinder has seen a lot of use. Long story short it took me over 20 years to get the buckeye that if first layed eyes on.
It is a cartridge that doesn't know it's age when chambered in modern steel in a modern gun, kinda like a 45-70 or 38-55.
I am running a plain base 140 around 1300-1400 with excellent results. Have tinkered with it in IHMSA's practical hunter class shooting in a sitting Keith style. 61/2" barrel with factory sights I shot in the high 20's. Did a re entry and ran a into the mid 30's. it takes 200 meter rams over slowly and none fell forward.
A plug for IHMSA, you guys should play the game and see what your customs will do along side some factory guns.

FWIW the cylinder on the new Single Seven fills the cylinder window pretty well. I'll bail mine out and measure it one day soon. You guys sitting back waiting for this to be a production gun may be sitting a long long time. Just like the 44 special and first 327 frenzy the general consensus is that after a wild initial flurry the 327 Single Seven won't have a market and will be gone...
AND... I like the idea that the 110 grain Spitzers I loaded in 32-20 cases for my TC fit in the cylinder of my Reeder 327/32-20 built on a NM Blackhawk. Won't ever have that option on a Single Six based 327..

Won't ever have that option on a Single Six based 327.. Stan, I measured out a few of my Single Six guns. Here's what I found.... The Single Nine has a window opening of 1.568". The barrel protrudes into the window .150", leaving a C.O.L. of 1.410". The SSM, 32 H&R, has a window opening of 1.567". The barrel protrudes into the window. 106", leaving a C.O.L. of 1.461". The Single Seven has a window opening of 1.562". The barrel protrudes into the window .047", leaving a C.O.L. of 1.515". While the longer Blackhawk cylinder may add a bit of room for bullet nose, it comes at a price. The gun is much heavier and bulkier than the Single Six size guns. As always it's good to have options and choose the guns we want. I love the Blackhawks, but this is a lot of power in a very compact package. |

Good stuff. I too leave my .22 in the safe in favor of the .32 for a general field carry side arm. I still grab a .22 niw and then but purposely after very small critters like squirrels or cotton tails. Ive mentioned before that I have had the same experience as Fermin with the .22 on Jacks and wouldnt shoot them any more. No worries with the .32 H&R. FWIW mine prefers 100gr cast bullets at very mid level velocitites. Try to slow it down or speed it up very much and accuracy falls off.

The new Single Seven 7.5" Rugers are becoming available. PM me. I should have mine in hand in a day or two. I LOVES shooting my 32 class sixguns.
Most of you guys know how I think, but I think that 5.5" converted to Bisley and a match grade barrel band barrel would be very cool. Converting the 4 5/8s gun to Bisley and dovetailing in a blued front would make a fine packer. And the 7.5 incher, well, just wait and see. Mine wont be stock long!
