Ole shooting buddy (best man at two weddings ) is having a 30 carbine Blackhawk rechambered to 327... Anybody loading for one of these? .308 bullets? .311 bullets? Using 308 expander for the .308 bullets? Tell us all about it! ;D

Isn't the .30 Carbine case both longer and larger in diameter than the .327?

Wouldn't surprise me in the least.... I remember the 327 cases I picked up on the range looking tiny... The Blackhawk is a big honking gun too... Can't get to any specs from here...

I load for both. In a larger frame, you can handload the 30 Carbine to outpace the 327. That being said, I like the little 32. My favorite load so far is 8.0 of HS6 under 115 grain cast (Hunters Supply bullet). -Lee www.singleactions.com

I have been shooting the same Hunter's Supply bullet in my 32 Mags for years. It is a fine bullet and darn cheap too. Same for their 328 gr WLN for the 45 Colt. Quality stuff.

I bought a box of hunter's supply 76 grainers for my 32. Tiniest SWC I have ever seen. Hunter's Supply used to be located near this area, and our local shop stil had stock from when they got delivered personally.

Y'all are making me want a .327 when I don't NEED another caliber/tool (at least that's what my CFO tells me!) Could be my first custom based on a single six perhaps? Or an M97....

Just send that 32 H&R FA back for a 327 cylinder fitting... Have a 32-20 cylinder made at the same time.... Oooops.. Thinking out loud... That is actually my personal plan...
