Big Boy 327
Big Boy 327
The recently announced Big Boys in 327 Federal Magnum are an interesting move for Henry. The 327 is a pretty cool caliber, but one that has not really caught on much yet. Ruger and Federal developed it, and Ruger chambers some revolvers in it. It's a caliber that packs some punch, but with less recoil than 357 magnum. Guns chambered for 327 can also shoot two or three other 32 revolver cartridges- which is good, because 327 factory ammo is not easy to find. Maybe now ammo for it will become more common.

Re: Big Boy 327
Seems like an odd choice to me as well. If I had to place an over/under on the number of rifles they'd sell in that caliber in the first year I'd set it around 20. And then maybe take the under....
I suppose it isn't difficult for new calibers to be added to the lineup. New barrel and bolt?

I have never seen that caliber anywhere here, but I wasn't looking either.

Re: Big Boy 327
I see guys asking for Ruger to bring back the SP101 in 327 federal as well. Most likely Ruger stopped production because demand wasn't that strong.
