Greeting's Folks-
I was sitting here wondering, just what advantages the new cartridge
[the .327 Federal Magnum] offers over the time tested and proven .357
Remington Magnum? Does the 3" barrel Ruger SP-101 recoil less with
the new cartridge; than say a 3" barrel SP-101 in .357 magnum? I
think if I wanted less recoil than a .357 magnum cartridge offers; I
would simply shoot the milder .38 Special loaded with +P's for any
self defense scenario's. Why buy a new gun (either the SP-101 from
Ruger, or the new 632 from Smith & Wesson); chambered for a
new cartridge thats ammo is still scarce~! It just doesn't make sense;
and I am not even mentioning the fact that the odd ball .327 Federal
Magnum would be a new cartridge for handloader's to have to load
for. No sir, I'm not sold on the fact that this is a "needed cartridge".
What's your opinion~?
