I've a single-seven in .327 ... But it has never seen a .327 cartridge. At the time I wanted a .32H&R Magnum revolver and this was the only single action I found that would 'work'. What I was looking for was a 'reloadable' .22 as I was bit frustrated with the shortage at the time. Of course a little later I found a Baby Vaquero, a little Bird's head Uberti sixgun, and then a Single Six.... So I am firmly in .32 territory. Now that .22 is plentiful again at a reasonable price they don't get shot to often. I tested 78g RN, 100g RN, and 115g FP. Found good loads (subsonic in revolvers) for all the bullets tested. No interest in .327. In my opinion, the .327 is a solution to a non-existent problem. But again, that is just my opinion... I've .357s on up for 'magnum' power if I ever need it. And these are revolvers that my wife can also enjoy shooting.
