I think that a lot of people have a skewed perception of what constitutes a "successful cartridge".

It seems that a lot of folks think that if it's a centerfire pistol cartridge and it doesn't usurp either the .38spl, the 9mm, the .380ACP, the .40S&W, the .45ACP or the .357Mag then it's a failure.

'Tain't so. I seriously doubt that Federal had any delusions that the .327Mag would become one of the top 5 or 6 centerfire pistol cartridges sold on the market.

Bottom line is that nothing went wrong with the .327Mag. It's a cartridge that some will find very attractive but that's never going to challenge any of the really common centerfire pistol cartridges for the top spot. And I think that's pretty much what Federal's forecast for the cartridge was.
