Is the sizing die in RCBS 32 SW Long, long enough to size .327 mag brass ?

Yes.

From what I've read, it's also the only common die that's long enough. Other people have run into issues with the Hornady and Redding dies.

My experience with this caliber is not in RCBS dies, but in Lee carbide dies.

For .327 Fed Mag, I bought the Lee .32 H&R Mag die set. It works perfectly well, 100% for all three dies.

The sizing die which works for .32 S&W Long, .32 H&R Mag and .327 Federal Mag (I've sized all of them with it) is also the same exact die as the carbide sizing die that Lee supplies in their 3-die set for .32 Auto. Same markings -- and it is actually marked ".32 S&W L".

Also, here is our most comprehensive thread on loading for the .327 Fed Mag here on TFL.
