There are VERY few FA .327s on the market right now... Only one I have seen lately is the 7.5" that smj has...that is it. He had two a few weeks ago but I guess he sold the other one. There are none at FAs right now.
Sized some Accurate 31-120S bullets down to .311 and they dropped right in... .312 was a no-go. Tried 12.0 grains of AAC-9 and was a "tad" warm...first round from the 6.5" barrel was 1700 fps... From the shorter barrel high 1500s.... Have made another batch with 10, 10.5 and 11.0 grains...will test when the weather is a little better hopefully by the end of the week...
...and of course this wasn't my last FA...ended up buying a 500 WE from another member here...but that's another story...

You just keep buying FA’s Bob….Somebody has to give them a good home. Be sure that they get fed right. And that they have nice front sights to wear so the other FA’s won’t make fun of them….

You will probably be seeing a couple of cylinders shortly... I have a TON of .327 ammo already made up that the "little" gun won't chamber but the other two will..
As to sights, just finalizing sight-in and as soon as I know exactly what I need some of your brass bead bead blades will be ordered...I still have your text with the pics...

Got to do some more chrono work today but ran out of light with a few rounds left...
.327 Federal Accurate 31-120S CCI Small Rifle Primer AAC-9 powder
10.0 4.25" 1416 fps 6.5" 1495
10.5 4.25" 1440 6.5" Ran out of light (but probably ran 1530)
11.0 4.25" primers starting to flatten. Extraction starting to get sticky 6.5" primers starting flatten. Extraction normal
Going to stay with the 10.0 grain load. The AAC-7 load I have runs 1400 fps from the 6.5" barrel and this gives me another 100 fps. This load also runs the bullet 16 fps faster than the AAC-7 load does out of the 6.5"...

12 step...so are you saying I have three more FA to go before I'm cured... Like the Covid shots , three more ain't enough to make it out of the program ! Hate to say it but there isn't any cure for this condition

I want one more FA and I want it to be a model 97 in 327/32/20. Maybe one day.
