Believe 10mm is the limit, it's close to 38 rim size which is the limit on rimmed cases, the 41 special was possible on the OM because of the clearance. With a new 5 shot cylinder.

What would the biggest to rechamder and rebarrel a 32 H&R mag to? I just did a stainless Mini Vaquero from 32 H&R to 10mm Auto. The real tight spot is the loading gate area. At the 10mm things are really close. It's necessary to remove material there, and it's possible to get into the channel where the transfer bar rides. Did you use original cylinder?

Did you use original cylinder? No Frame window got opened, oversize heat treated 17-4 stainless 5-shot cylinder, special barrel, lockwork, etc It's a pretty extensive job.

Should grave been more specific. The biggest Rechamber the factory cylinder and rebarrel To. I have only seen these rechambered to 327, had to wait and make sure Zebra didnt have something up his sleeve! Does anyone know if threads were different? Was advised recently that the factory 327's had a larger thread? Haven't looked into it yet though.

this is an interesting topic, I wondered why there are so many done in 9mm , now i know. the lack of a rim makes it easier to use the loading gate. I should have thought of it myself having experienced 1st hand how much of a pain it is to get the .327 federal cartridges in. Still i think the .38 super would be better, you could get decent speed from bullets as big as 147 gr, could you use .357 bullets ? that would be a hoot, damn i just bought a super single six. i shoot both the .327 and the .38 super. holding the rims together , there is not a lot of difference. I think it is 31 thousandths. With a 5 inch barrel Hornady shows 1150 Fps, with a 147 gr XTP, With a 7.5 You might well gain 100. That would a very potent little revolver. And at the other end a 90 grain slug made for the .380 gives 1450 hrom a 5 in Government model. a 7.5 in, might reach 1600. That would be very flat and a coyote slayer for sure. if i used up my cabelas points the stock single six gun would cost less than 200.00. Oh Crap ! i will never retire at this rate ! ...tj3006

I use 357 Magnum bullets in mine. If oversized for throats, I push them thru a Lee Size Die.
Mine is a dual cylinder gun with 38 Super and 9mm cylinders.

38 Super is great if you want that bullet size.

i just was playing with a 10 mm and 38 super case and my super single six. the super sure looks like the better fit. Looks like loading a 10 mm might be a pain. I would think a free spin pawl would be help full. This has my Attention. And may get my money in 38 super ! A 10mm on the single six platform would be a hell of a lot of power in a small pkg. One i would think of as a more for carry than shooting. Cause i think recoil would be stout ! Also for the super. but not as bad. I think the super would be a better choice. Bullets available in just about any flavor. I wonder if Gary Reeder has tried necking the super down to .327. It should work great in a single six. But how much better than the .327 fed or the 32/20 would be hard to say. A dual Cylinder 327 and 32/20 would be great fun ! I might need to work till i am 132 at this rate. ...tj

I have a 6 shot 38 special and a 9mm from Alan Harton. Both are built on New model Ruger Single sixes. I also have a Gallagher 41 Special in a 5 shot OM single six. What's that gun with the barrel band?

Dont believe he does much work with the auto loading cartridges, mostly contender/Encore and Revolver compatible. He does have a 321GNR that is 357 necked down, not sure if it would be adaptable to the 38 special perhaps?

If I may ask, how many of these Single Sixes have rebored original size 6 shot factory cylinders? I think that is the answer to the question. "High-Jack"... That is what makes the .41spl work in the mid-frame double actions. To be affordable you need to be able to re-bore and rifle the barrel and rechamber the cylinder. This is the "Skeeter" model from the 70s.......
I apologize to the OP for the high-jack............
