My bias against the .327 Federal Magnum is the following;

• Ammunition availability; only Federal and Speer make ammo for it.
• Firearm availability; only Ruger makes a revolver chambered in it.

Until we see a broader availability of ammunition and firearms available in .327 Federal Magnum, I would pass on getting one.

I also have a political bias against Ruger. If I ever get a FFL, I will refuse to sell new Ruger firearms for that reason. I also will never own a Ruger firearm for the same reason.

When we see more then I'll take the caliber seriously. The number of 10mm firearms currently produced since outnumbers the number of .327 Federal Magnum revolvers out there.

I agree with you on the current state of ammo availability. Rumor has it that Freedom Arms is planning a .327 magnum. That would be great.
