327 Federal Mag rifle, yea or na

It's not the rimlessness that matters

It's the HARD rn FMJ's lined up primer to bullet tip in a tube mag that matters

About all I use now days is 110gr. SPs in my .30Carbine. They work pretty good too. Furthermore, the mil-spec. hard-ball typically has fairly hard primers, so I doubt that it would be an issue (particularly with the mild manners of a .30Carbine).

If you really think the .30Carbine is a better solution, you're not looking very hard. Because the only revolver chambering the .30M1 is the large frame Blackhawk. The .327 works in a Single Six and is far more useful in that platform. The rim makes things easier than the .30. The straight wall makes things easier than the .32-20. I don't know where the comments about bullet selection come from. There is a boatload of .32 bullets available. From swaged wadcutter and semi-wadcutter plinkers to 85gr and 100gr JHP's from Speer and Hornady, plenty of cast bullets up to 130gr and the new 115gr Gold Dot. They also have a handy cannelure for proper crimping in BOTH sixgun and rifle. Marlin has already produced their 1894 in .32H&R and .32-20 so all is needed is a slight alteration to allow the .327. You can also shoot five different cartridges in a .327 sixgun, including the .32S&W, .32S&W Long, .32ACP, .32H&R and .327Federal.

Every way you look at it, the .327 is a better solution, IF you have an open mind.

Not for me.

I agree that the .327 mag is a better all around cartridge with it's ability to shoot more rounds and the fact that it comes in so many handguns already.I like the 327 for it's power and size over the somewhat larger Cal. shells.Far as I'm concerned, the more the better ! Keep E'm coming.

Right on 20x12ga. That is my thinkin as well.
