I finally got to the range to shoot my 327's. My taurus keyholed all the Fiocchi 32 S&W wadcutters. I'm not sure why -- too slow, poor rifling??? My single seven shot them just fine. It did just fine with the 327's but extraction was a bit tough. Those 327's were factory Federal 100gr JSP's.
The more annoying problem was with the Single 7. The pin that retains the cylinder kept backing out on each shot with the 327 loads and the cylinder wouldn't easily rotate. After each shot, I had to push in on the cylinder pin and then cock it. I was careful with my off hand and I'm sure I wasn't pushing the release pin (I am left handed so that keeps the trigger finger away too). Anyone heard of that and have an easy fix?
Also annoying is the 7 extraction. The window for case insertion/extraction is too small. You have to get the cylinder in just the right place to get a cartridge in or out. If it creeps forward too much, there is no way to backup the cylinder. So you just have to go around to the next one and keep spinning to pick up any you didn't get the fist time. Any secrets to overcome this?
