I think a big part of that reason is... sadly... the popularity of the .327 Federal Mag.
Someone puts up a post in it, and others see the thread title and want to add why they like or don't like the .327 Federal.
And then the "usual suspects", you & I and others who
really like the .327 Federal also add more posts dissecting what they said.
Truth is, there's not a lot of places on TFL forums where there is an active discussion on the .327.
I love this thread... but for my buck, I'd like to see even 25% of the traffic on the most recent thread on handloading the .327 Federal.
