The more I read about the .327 Federal the better it sounds. I've located a LCR in that caliber and will probably buy it tomorrow.

I will definitely be reloading for it just as I do for everything I shoot. The only factory load I will have will be for defense carry. I'm not new(30+ years) to reloading and will be reloading on my Redding single stage and not my Dillon.

I'd like to load some mild loads for plinking and something light enough for my wife to practice with. She does have her CCW but never shoots or carries. I'm hoping to change that with the purchase of the LCR.

I'm trying to decide on which route to take when rounding up my components. I want to get them at the same time as the pistol if I can.
>For mild loads I'm going with 90-100 grain SnS Casting coated RNFP for sure.

>I had thought about just having one size brass, 327 Federal Magnum. Is it possible to load 327 Federal Magnum to mild 32 S&W Long levels?

>Go with other 32 brass for mild loads for plinking and have only factory 327 Federal defense loads for carry?

>Primers? Small pistol, small magnum pistol primers, small rifle or small rifle magnum?

>Preferred brand of dies to load all 327, 32 H&R, 32S&W Long. (I have read where guys had problems with RCBS and cases sticking to expander)

>Preferred powder. I already have most pistol primers to try.

I'm getting excited about the LCR and caliber. I kinda hope my wife hates the LCR.
