This might not be wise, but if my .32 Magnum can chamber .327 Federal Magnum rounds; can/should I use them in it.  I know the SAMMI pressure is almost twice as high.  Then again, the frame is over designed for the .357 Magnum.  Any thoughts out there?

I don't think an unaltered 32 chamber will accommodate a 327 but it may...  If it did, I don't think there would be an issue, however it wasn't designed for the 327, so I personally would not.  Ambiguous answer, I know.

Technically, the glass is always full; half liquid, half air....

If I ever find a spare cylinder for my 32 mag I'm going to have it reamed out to 327 federal--

Just an opinion. You know their like a..holes. Everyone has one. If you have no opinions you have no brain. If it chambers it would be safe IM not so HO. Wish I had a .32 mag to try it. Dan Wesson I mean. I have a Ruger sp 101 on it's way but would not dare try .327 Federal in it. It is for Wifey ,who cannot have fun with larger calibers anymore.

I believe that the .32 H&R Magnum and .327 Federal Magnum cases are identical except for length.  I haven't measured my cylinder yet to see if it will accommodate the extra length of the .327.

Thanks for all the input, I think I' ll just stick to .32 H&R Mags.  Sorry SHOOT, I'm keeping my .32.
