Well then I stand corrected, I bet that will be a nice woods gun, how about a birdshead grip and Bisley hammer on one of thoes.

Those are exactly what most people were screaming for, from the beginning. I may have even said something about wanting a Single Six, myself.
So, I'll be watching intently, to see how many people put their money where their mouth Unfortunately, I probably won't be one of them. I have a handful of rifle builds and repair jobs on the table, and have dumped quite a chunk of change into other projects this year. There really isn't anything else to spare.

It's definitely what HALF the clamorers have been clamoring for! The other half want a lever action rifle.
Me? Don't get along well with single actions, so I'm just thrilled that this revolver might bring a little publicity to our cool, slender round. But I have no plans to get one... and never did.

If these Rugers actually start to show up around here, I might have to go for it. I have all the old 32's (well, not "all" but .32 S&W, .32 S&W Long, 32-20, and .32 ACP) but no .32 H&R or .327 Federal. There are always some nice lever guns in 32-20 on Gunbroker, and I could see some of those models remade in .327. Cheapskate that I am, I went for a Savage 23C just so I can shoot 32-20 in a rifle.

Is 327 easier on the ears than 357?
In a different thread, I've been asking about the issue of potential ear damage if using 357 magnum for self defense. Now I'm noticing the recent posts to this 327 Federal thread.
Would the 327 magnum be noticeably easier on the ears than 357 magnum, assuming a similar barrel length of 3-4 inches? I know 327 mag is a high velocity round, so if high velocity is what causes the loud report, it wouldn't be any quieter...right? Or, are other factors at play in the ear damage question? |

The concussion is different but the supersonics all have that added boom. I guess that's why the 9mms are some of the sharpest sounds on the range but don't rattle your brain like the bigger bores.

I'm no scientist, but there's nothing about a .327 Federal that is any manner of quiet. I would say that it's just as likely to be irrationally loud. The .327 Federal Magnum does, in fact, run 10,000 PSI higher than 9mm, .40 S&W and .357 Magnum.
In fact, the .30 Carbine from a Ruger Blackhawk has a (long held) reputation for being horrendously loud and obnoxious. And the .327 Federal is very, very similar in size and pressure to the .30 Carbine. It's a couple hundredths larger in diameter, but effectively the same bullet diameter. The cartridge case length is a bit shorter. The .327 Federal runs 5,000 PSI higher than the .30 Carbine does when both are at their peak.

Thank you, Ruger. I kinda had hoped for a blued model, but this is much appreciated. A 5.5" Single Seven, even if it is in stainless, just moved to the very top of my Must Have list.
I already have a thousand rounds of ammo (reloads) downstairs ready and waiting. |

Billy, what is your load?
I'm a .327 enthusiast and I only do handloads, so I'm curious what load you like so much that you rolled a THOUSAND of them?!

I am just realizing that having (pre-)ordered a Single Seven in 5.5", I will be able to step up to full Magnum loads over what I use for practice in the 3.06" SP101. I currently load 11.0 gr AA#9 with 100 gr LRNFP Br 12, but these are no bunny pharts.

Sevens,
I loaded three different recipes in this batch. Nothing special though. Just the usual sorts of fun loads others have already posted. The first was 12.4 grains of H-110 under a 100 grain XTP. I think this is my favorite, although most expensive, all around load. Second was a load of 5.8 grains of Unique with the now discontinued 100 grain plated Rainier bullets. This was my most common fun load until the bullets disappeared. Nowhere close to the 327's full potential, but still powerful enough to make a good pop and accurate in my GP-100. Finally I used a slightly smaller load of Unique (I won't quote the load because I can't recall it offhand and don't have my journal handy) with 100 grain cast bullets from Missouri Bullets. Again, nothing earth shattering, but fun to shoot and easier on the ears...as well as the brass life. I like to take a Zip-Loc bag full of whatever is handy with me on my wilderness wanderings to plink at tree stumps. Lots of fun. |

I'm late to the party but have owned and SP101 327 for a few years now. Wife pretty much took it over but still lets me shoot it once in a while... I'd buy another one if I could find one that I could afford.
I also have been enjoying my 32 Single Six for a little longer. I've always thought of it as a perfect match scale-wise between the gun and its cartridge. I've owned 22 Single Sixes for a long time and since the arrival of the 32 they don't get much use anymore. Now Ruger offers a 327 Single SEVEN!!?? I HAVE to have one. Tracked down a Lipseys dealer and put my money down. He says they should start shipping in September. I'm hoping he means early in the month... I didn't think it could get much better than a 32 H&R Single Six but I think it just did. My expectations are high. I've been using the 32 Single Six and my "woods loafing" (Skeeter) gun. Its light weight, just under 2 pounds it carries easy. Ammo is easy to take lots of too. I use the RCBS 32 98SWC for most of my loads and I've had good success with the Lyman 311008 (as cast) and the Hornady XTP bullets. My small game load uses W231 (~950 fps) and does an excellent job on Grouse (during Deer and Elk season we can use centerfire cartridges on Grouse here). For general purpose and Metallic silhouette I use Unique gets me 1180 fps average (Oregon Trail Data). For longer range steel and bigger critters I like Lil'Gun (Hodgdon MAX data) and that gets me to almost 1300 fps. For the Single Seven I'm interested in testing the heavier end of the 32 handgun bullet spectrum and see where that goes. It took me durn near 50 years to get a 32 caliber firearm, now I can't seem to stop buying them... Like them in my Marlin rifles too, 32-20 and 32 H&R. |

My concern with the new Single Six 327 is the cylinder length. Unless they make the frame longer than the old single six 32 Mag, you will not be able to load heavy bullets and not go much over 100 grains. Here is the 327 Blackhawk cylinder beside the Ruger single six 32 mag cylinder. I am curious to see how long the 327 single six cylinder is. My concern is that Ruger did not think that far ahead when specing out the new 327 single six. Time will tell. Last edited by saleen322; August 24, 2014 at 07:42 AM. Reason: Typo |

Looking at the pictures of the new Single Seven it does appear the cylinder is longer based on the gap between the frame, forward of the cylinder.
What powder are you using to drive that 153 gr bullet? And how fast are you pushing it? Impressive. There is a guy on another forum that is very successfully using a 130ish grain cast bullet in his Blackhawk on varmints (and taking them at ranges beyond 50 yards) with devastating terminal performance. After some testing I'll probably end up having Tom at Accurate Molds make another mold for me. With my 32 H&R Single Six the RCBS 32-98 SWC is so good that I didn't look much farther. The Lyman 311008 (115gr) as cast (.313") showed a lot of promise too. The 327 Single Seven should broaden the horizons a good bit. There is a Montana outfit that makes a 125 grain gas checked bullet that performs well in 32-20 rifles that will cycle it. My 1905 vintage Marlin 1894 needs a bit more taper in the ogive to fully seat. |

Why a 327 magnum?
Well how many pink 38 specials snubbies does a guy need? I only have one 327 magnum and thats because its the only one I could find. I got a Taurus revolver with a 2 inch barrel. Its my wife's bedside gun and my ankle holster gun. Perfect gun for the wife. Used 32 longs to get her trained then moved up to 32 mag loads. Finally 327 butt kickers. And I can tell you it is close to being my most accurate revolver. Even with that 2 inch barrel. I like it for my CC gun. Small and light in my ankle holster. With more than enough umph to get the job done. But what I really want is a Carbine lever gun in 327 and one of those single 7's The single 7 will be mine if I ever find one for sale. And the lever gun maybe before I die some one may make one.... Maybe... Last edited by A pause for the COZ; August 24, 2014 at 05:25 PM. |

It's baack
Lipsey's now carries Ruger .327 single action in 3 barrel lengths.I ordered a gp100 about a year and half ago only to have Ruger cease building them.Please look at the ballistic report in American Rifleman.Zero at 25 yards with a 6
inch drop at 100 is not too shabby.I've got ammo-maybe I'll see one after all.BTW Lipseys has the exclusive. |

I purchased a SP-101 when they first came out and couldn't be happier with the SP101 and the 327 Federal. Fun gun to shoot. not only with the 327 Mag, but in 32 H&R, but 32 S&W too. I only wish that Ruger would bring out the LCR in 327 Mag. I'm not interested in the barrel length debate, I would buy one because the 327 Mag is a fun and interesting cartridge @ I want a 327 snubby! But I don't think that one will be coming from Ruger anytime soon.

I just picked up a .32 H&R Mag Singe Six fixed sight revolver (NIB). First .32 anything, I've seen ever at gunshows or gun shops.... Also, have one of the Single Six .327s talked about above on request from gun dealer. My plan is make them my reloadable '.22's as it is the 'smallest' common straight walled center fire rimmed case available that I am aware of. Thanks to the .22 shortage, my attention has turned to the little .32.... I have .357s on up for heavier work... So a lead 85g or so bullet at 1000fps-1100fps would be plenty for this little cartriage (for my intended use anyway) .

I found a Smith 632 a while back and it has fast found its way into my top 3 or 4 guns for shooting. It's just fun to shoot, and perfect for training new shooters with 32 long or 32 mag loads. I rarely shoot the 327 federal mag loads, but I load them for SD sometimes. Easy and inexpensive to reload too. The newer SNS coated bullets are great, and the Missouri Bullet lead bullets shoot well too in the two lower calibers (32 long, 32 mag). I found a Ruger single shot 327 several months ago, and wish I had bought it.
