I do think there is a benefit to stronger brass when used in some auto pistols, especially when 6'O clock case support isn't great.
IIRC, cartridges like .357 sig and .45 magnum have extra-strong web support.
As for .32 magnum & the snub...I have an LCR .327 and load .32 magnum.
Even loaded to it's maximum potential, from a short barrel the best you'll get is .380 acp performance. Unless your goal is maximum penetration, then you can load a heavier bullet than in .380.
It takes a .327 magnum-energy load to get 4 inch barrel 9x19 performance (Penetration & expansion) from a 2 inch barrel .32.
I'd love to be loading a mild (but hotter than .32 Mag) .327 load with something like Enforcer but unfortunately the brass is not available.
I've fired the factory Federal hydrashok 85 gr and it is indeed in that gap. Doesn't have all the recoil and blast of the factory Cci Gold Dot loads.
They are going to be mild on penetration, but not a bad load. I wish they used a 100 gr bullet.
