However... .32 S&W Long brass with small rifle primers and a .311" round ball produce about 300 fps in a .327 Federal SP101 (3" bbl) or Blackhawk (5.5" bbl).

The load with only a small rifle primer actually performed better (more velocity) than the very reduced power smokeless loads that we were working on to start with. They will penetrate a couple pieces of cardboard, but can be picked up and loaded again with minimal deformation. Very fun to shoot, but still packing enough energy to do a little damage.
