i have been looking at a ruger single six in 32HR, i was getting ready to buy the gun when i saw an article about the 327. my taste in handguns only runs to single action revolvers. i would guess ruger will chamber the blackhawk in the 327 soon. i don't need the extra energy as i mainly shoot cans with my six guns, but i can't pass up the future capability of a round that is basically the same size as the 32HR.
My question is could the 32 be loaded to the speed/bullet/pressures of the 327? assuming the gun was a stout modern example of the six gun.

I've only read one article about the 327, but it would seem to outpace the 32 H&R by a good bit. I doubt you could goose the H&R any more than it is already - safely at least.

If you have a chance at a Single Six in 32 H&R, snap it up. They're VERY hard to find, IMO. And if it disappoints you, tap me on the shoulder, willya?

I wouldn't, no. What happens if someone shoots that ammo in weaker gun than a Ruger?

Both Mike and Rocky are giving you good advice. Pick up the Ruger and have fun with it and when the new round comes out in a single action get one if you want it, the 32 Ruger will always have a draw of fans so will be easy to pass on.

The simple answer in no it cannot. The real limiting factor with the .32 H&R Magnum is the brass case. The cases open up their primer pockets quickly when loaded to high pressures.
I have several .32 H&R Magnum handguns, one of which is a Buckeye Blackhawk which is capable and handling quite heavy loads. As a silhouette gun and for use on called in varmints this is a good gun but it is too heavy for carrying on your hip.
I have a SSX Bisley and it is a much more practical handgun for all around use. 1200 fps + from the Bisley or SSX is easily possible using 90 and 100 grain bullets. Check the chambers on your cylinder to ensure they don’t have the annular machine marks in them most Rugers in .32 H&R have pretty rough chambers. This will cause early extraction problems. Loads that allow the cases to free fall from an S&W Model 16 cylinder will stick and give tight extraction in the Rugers. The chambers are easily polished and there is a Tech Note here on the Beartooth forum on how to do this work.
The .32 H&R Magnum loaded with a 115-grain cast bullet will bring a raccoon or porcupine out of a tree with one shot and these critters are dense. Loaded within reason the .32 Magnum gives up nothing to the .38 Special when used with equal length barrels. I would buy it and not look back.

thanks, you have put me over the top. i am especially glad to know the rough chambers is easily corrected.

If you have a chance at a Single Six in 32 H&R, snap it up. They're VERY hard to find, IMO. And if it disappoints you, tap me on the shoulder, willya?
I guess that's typical, a gun is discontinued because no body wants it and as soon as it's gone, everybody wants one!:)
For several months after Ruger dropped this gun they were being discounted on close out from several distributors. I have a friend who spent a lot of bucks and time in fitting his .32 SS with the brass backstrap and black birdshead grips. He'd barely finished the work when I saw one of my distributors had them in that exact configuration for $250 new in the box. I was real tempted to get one just to see him turn green but really, I'm over the .32, there is nothing it can do that a .38/.357 can't do better and cheaper. Well, nothing except fit into a single-six.:)

I am a small game hunter and not a cowboy shooter so the birds head grip guns never interested me. If we are talking about a fixed sight, birds head grip .32 Magnum I would not be very enthusiastic.
As a small game cartridge – I am talking about 50 pound critters or less – the .32 H&R Magnum is a bit superior to the .38 Special in several ways. The first is with regard to over penetration. The .38 Special when loaded to +P velocities has a tendency to over penetrate and ricochets across a pasture. The .32 Mag will do this too but not as often.
I sometimes shoot into trees to bring down raccoon and porcupine. The .32 Mag tends to penetrate well on these dense critters without exiting.
I have a wide variety of handguns chambered for the .32 Mag, from the aluminum frame Centennial to the big Buckeye Ruger. Each of these guns has its weak and strong points. I freely admit the .32 H&R Magnum is not well served with factory ammunition but is a handloaders cartridge. I enjoy loading for and shooting the .38 Special very much but I find the .32 H&R Magnum has an advantage as a small game cartridge.
While this is not a which gun is better thread I believe the two finest handguns chambered for the .32 Magnum were the 4” S&W Model 632 Kit Gun and the Ruger SSX Bisley. These two handguns may be the easiest to hit with handguns ever put on the market.
