I decided not to shoot any more of that load.

At at some point I might use the 32h&r +p rounds in my LCR 327.
I doubt it will damage a gun chambered in 327 Federal.
That's the only way I'd shoot those over-pressure rounds.
Since it is commercial ammo it is pretty safe to bet it is loaded below 327 magnum pressures.

The 327 magnum standard is max 45000 PSI and the H&R magnum standard is a max 21000 PSI.

So while the Buffalo Bore 32 H&R "+P" is loaded higher than 21000 PSI, it has to be less than the 45000 PSI allowed for 327 magnum. Otherwise there would be a lot of stories on the 'net about damaged 32 H&R guns from these rounds.
