I like caliber options. That is one of the reasons I bought a .460 S&W Magnum. It is also the reason that I want a .327 Federal Magnum.
So, I originally wanted a GP100 in .327 Magnum... but I could never find one, and they do not seem to be made anymore. Also, I have been unable to find them on the secondhand market, which means that either they were so utterly terrible that most people simply threw them in the garbage can, or the people that bought them really want to hang onto them.
Currently, the biggest thing Ruger is producing in .327 is the SP101, but that is only a 6-shot.
Does anybody have much experience with either the SP101 or the GP100, specifically in .327 Magnum? How has your experience with this caliber been? How is it compared to other calibers in terms of recoil and concussion? Have you had problems with the .32 S&W Long or .32 H&R Magnum in your gun, or do they shoot alright? Are these pretty consistent guns, or do they shoot all over the place? Any of you reload for it? How has reloading worked out for you?
Thanks for your input, guys.
Also, I can already hear people telling me to just get a .357 Magnum instead. I am not really interested in buying a[nother] .357 Magnum at this point in time. I don't really need advice on what caliber to get. In the end, I will probably have a couple examples of just about every commercially available caliber .
