"The Single Sixes in .32H&R are perhaps the best thing since sliced bread. I love mine. The round is is light years ahead of the .22M on small game, varmints and predators and it's big enough to not be a pain in the rear loading."

++1 IMO, there is nothing more enjoyable to shoot than.a Single Six .32 H&R, quite the popper even in the often derided historically "weak" factory/off-the-shelf ammo. (Powerful cartridges introduced by Buffalo Bore and Corbon have changed that equation lately, but at the prices asked are somewhat specialty rounds--ie, hardly range stuff). I do like the idea of a .327 in a Single Six (hint hint Ruger), as well as in a midframe (Flattop and New Vaquero--perhaps as a .32-20 convertible), if only to expand the envelope for number of cartridges that can be shot in one platform from mild to wild--since none of the .32 cartridges are growing on trees--in a more compact frame(s) than the larger 8 shot .327 Blackhawk. Win-win.
