First, I want to address the scepticism that has floated about the amazing Internet. Mostly by folks that have no experience with this new cartridge.
It is to noisy... Well folks, a .357 is louder. Do not hear folks whining about that cartridge.
There is no need for it... The 32-20 already exists.
First off, I bought a new 32-20 from USFA in the original Colt format. I ran it hard against hot rodded 32 H&R magnums and found it lacking. Eventuality selling the gun in favor of three different single six Rugers. Freedom Arms entered into thiis .327 niche. Have not seen one, never mind had a chance to test one. But boy, that would be the cats meow.
It is a defensive round, only.
Horse malarky!. This round is capable of great accuracy at over 100 yards in a handgun.. It will make a excellent varmint cartridge when finally chambered in a rifle.
Too expensive.
At 28 bucks a box of 50 for American Eagle... That argument is gone.
No manufacturer will commit to the cartridge and it will fade away like some wildcats.
Dead argument. To many example from Ruger, S&W, to Charter Arms. Perhaps the .32 H&R is now finally in jeopardy.
Anyrate, the critics are starting to disappear. A good thing. The cartridge is here to stay.
Here is the new Distributors Special from Ruger. A 8 shot .327 in SS with a 5.5" barrel. The initial break in tests on this gun are.very promising Make no mistake. It is heavy at almost 47 ounces. But heavy is one thing, perfectly balanced is another. The gun holds steady. Weight offset by balance. Weight, also reduces felt recoil. The impression is one of shooting a .22 mag.
My example is shooting just over one inch groups twenty five yards, factory ammo. Have the dies to reload for it already...still.waiting on a order for molds and lubrisize dies for it. Then, the real fun begins. Ruger Only Loads....
