The 327 Fed Mag allows you to shoot a variety of loads, from 32 S&amp;W Long and .32 H&amp;R Magnum (remember that round?) to 327 Fed Mag. The .32 round followed the same path as other revolver calibers as power was needed. The 38 Special was created by lengthening the 38 Long Colt case and stuffing more powder into it. The 38 Special was lengthened and stuffed with even more powder to create the 357 Magnum. You see case length does matter when it comes to power. The 327 Federal Magnum followed a similar route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"717\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2743-1024x717.jpg\" alt=\"32 S&amp;W Long, 32 H&amp;R Magnum, and 327 Federal Magnum\" class=\"wp-image-198301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2743-1024x717.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2743-400x280.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2743-150x105.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2743-768x538.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2743.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">From left to right are 32 S&amp;W Long, 32 H&amp;R Magnum, and 327 Federal Magnum.

They lengthened the 32 S&amp;W Long case, stuffed more powder into it then christened it the 32 H&amp;R Magnum. This caliber offers low recoil with energy levels similar to a 38 Special. The 32 caliber power party really didn&#8217;t start rolling until 2008 when Federal increased the case length another 1\/8th of an inch and debuted the 327 Federal Magnum touting similar ballistics as the 357 Magnum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2744-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Hornady Critical Defense with a 80-gr.

The 327 Fed Mag is for lightweight, compact revolvers, and due to the diameter of 32-caliber bullets, these revolvers can hold 6 rounds compared to 5 rounds in 38 Special or 357 Magnum. More capacity in the same size revolver is a good thing. So by now, you&#8217;re thinking what&#8217;s the trade-off?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2756-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Revolver with 6 rounds chambered\" class=\"wp-image-198304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2756-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2756-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2756-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2756-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2756.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In the same size revolver, the 327 Federal Magnum offers more round capacity than the 38 Special or 357 Magnum.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-powerful-is-the-327-fed-mag\">How Powerful Is The 327 Fed Mag?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The 327 Fed Mag fired from short barrel revolvers offers excellent ballistics.

The SP101 series are stoutly built revolvers in 327 Fed Mag holds 6 rounds in lieu of 5 rounds in 38 Special and 357 Magnum. One of the reasons the 327 Federal Magnum can ecplice the 38 Special +p and offer similar ballistics as the 357 Magnum is the fact the 327 is loaded to a very high pressure, 45,000 psi. The 357 Magnum is loaded to 35,000 psi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2745-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Federal American Eagle 100-gr. soft point in the 327 Federal Magnum\" class=\"wp-image-198311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2745-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2745-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2745-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2745-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2745.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Federal American Eagle loads a 100-gr. soft point in the 327 Federal Magnum that has a muzzle velocity of 1,435 fps and 451 ft-lb.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-327-fed-mag-vs-38-special-p\">327 Fed Mag vs 38 Special +P<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Take, for instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hornady.com\/ammunition\/handgun\/38-special-p-110-gr-ftx-critical-defense#!\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"what-is-the-327-federal-magnum-good-for\" title=\"What Is The 327 Federal Magnum Good For?\">Hornady Critical Defense 38 Special +P loaded with a 110-grain FTX bullet<\/a>.

Federal&#8217;s Personal Defense 104-grain HST bullet load in 327 Federal Magnum has a muzzle speed of 1,500 fps and 520 ft-lb. That&#8217;s a bit less than the 357 Magnum but darn close. Penetration with the 327 Federal Magnum in 10-percent gelatin ranges from 14 to 16 inches and bullets like Federal Hydra-Shok JHP and Speer Gold Dot offer excellent expansion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 327 Federal Magnum does it with less felt recoil. If you have ever fired a S&amp;W J-frame in 357 Magnum, you know the type of stinging recoil it produces. I&#8217;m not saying the 327 Federal Magnum is a soft shooter. It does put a lot less hurt in our hand than a 357 Magnum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2747-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"3 revolver bullets on wood table\" class=\"wp-image-198308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2747-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2747-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2747-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2747-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2747.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">From left to right: Hornady Critical Defense 327 Federal Magnum, Hornady Critical Defense 38 Special, and Federal 357 Magnum.
