Henry in .327 shoot long?

Post by brettitt41 » Tue May 19, 2020 6:07 pm

Will the .327 Henry cycle 32 S&W Long? How does it shoot? I have a couple of .32 S&W long revolvers and a carbine would be fun.

interesting question .... Henry's website says their rifles will chamber .327 Fed Magnum & .32 H&R Mag .... unsure where a 32 S&W Long fits in

I have read reports that it will cycle the .32 S&W longs. I think that shooting them would be about like an air rifle. However I think that the S&W longs would have to be a round nosed or other projectile that is a bit forward of the case mouth. In others words no full wadcutter loads.

I cast and shoot Lee 90gn Semi wadcutters in my S&W 30's so a carbine would be a fun plinker and small game taker.

I own an old colt police positive in 32 S&W long. Great little revolver. I am now getting interested in this 32 Henry rifle. Hmmm. It seems to be a good all around gun.

Check out this YouTube video from Buffalo’s Outdoors. He tries several different cartridges in the 327 Henry. This should answer your question.
