I thought I read about one of the members having a Rolling Block rebarreled or rebored to .327 but now I can't find the thread. Did this happen or was I dreaming again?  Thanks! |

Sounds like a day dream I often have while staring at my reloading bench. It really sounds so right.
I recently picked up a BSA cadet in 218 bee and have been staring at it with evil intent,,,,,,,,,,,,

I do have a Rolling Block in it, but not the 327 Federal. |

That changed yesterday as Midway now has new Hornady brass in stock. Brass and neck sizing dies now on the way. |

I probably mixed up a couple of posts and conjured up a .327 Rolling Block. Not the first time I've done such a thing!  I had a .218 Bee Cadet, picked it up with a couple of project rifles. It might have been a project of it's own, I don't recall. Sold it a couple of years ago without ever shooting it. IIRC it needed stock and fore end work done and it might have been missing the breech block. Might be worth picking up a shot out Martini .22 club rifle and having it bored for the .327. I much prefer the Martini to the RB anyway... |

I have a 3FIFTY7 rolling block, but not a 327... and it's a pistol, not some useless rifle!

Rolling Blocks & Martinis.... now you guys are talkin rifles... I have a custom fast twist 32-40 & a 40-65 in rolling blocks, & a 30-30, a 38-56, a 45-70, & a 50-70 in martinis... I never did the pistol calibers... those I leave to the lever actions where a 327 is on my short list, to pair with a 38 / 357, & a 44 Special 44 Mag, & a 45 Colt
