.327 Federal Magnum--Ruger Pistol
      20/12/07 03:08 PM

Federal has just come out with an "improved version of the 32 S&W and 32H&R--calling it a .327 Federal Magnum--apparently they lengthened the case 1/8th inch to 1.200 inches.

In the test it states that Federal teamed with Ruger. The gun used in the test was a Ruger 101. First load tested was a 85 gr Hydra shock with a muzzle velocity of 1330 from a 3 1/2 in barrel. I t has also been tested in a carbine with an 18" barrel--velocity at 1830 fps.This is considered a "reduced " load.

Another load was 100 grain Sofpoint at about 1400 fps from the handgun and 2101 from the carbine.

Finally the third load is a 115 gr Speer Gold Dot with a mv of 1300 fps and 432 ft-lbs of energy from the handgun.

Article states for defensive purposes it outshines the 38 Special considerably and still allows smaller handguns to have 6 rounds vs the typical 5 such as the S&W J-Frame model 60--I have one of those I carry most days--awesome little gun in .357..

Those interested might want to check this out on their web-site..
