I assume you mean 357 mag
I have one, cant frick up a revolver
Nice in that it also shoots 38 special which is cheap for range shooting
357 mag packs a punch, keep it in my nightstand

Seven rounds. Good stopping power with a slightly recoil.
Rounds can be difficult to find retail. Easy mail order.

You can shoot several different .32 shells in them but you can get a .357 for a little more dollars.

My wife had a SP101 until she too had a tragic boating accident. My daily carry is a Charter Arms .44 Bulldog.

Yes it’s the 327 mag. they’ve amped up the pressure in the ammo but not much kick as 357.

VERY!!!
In the April 2008 issue of the NRA's American Rifleman magazine, Field Editor Bryce Towsley summed up his review of the cartridge as follows:
The .327 offers more 'real-world' energy than the .357 Mag., (at least in my test), better penetration and one more shot per gun load. It does all this with substantially less recoil and noticeably less muzzle blast than the .357 Mag.
The .327 Federal Magnum is a cartridge introduced by Federal Cartridge but also sold by Sturm, Ruger, intended to provide the power of a .357 Magnum in six shot, compact revolvers, whose cylinders would otherwise only hold 5 rounds.
With its strengthened case and increased pressure ceiling, the .327 Federal reaches the velocity levels of the .357 Magnum, if not the same power
Since the .327 still shares all case dimensions, excluding length, with the .32 S&W, .32 ACP, .32 S&W Long, and .32 H&R Magnum, revolvers chambered for the .327 Federal can also safely chamber and fire these shorter cartridges. This makes the .327 Federal unique, as it can fire five different cartridges from the same gun with no modifications

Isnt .327 fed mag expensive hard to find ammo, though, right?
I prefer shooting .38 out of a .357 platform. .38 is Not overly expensive and hollow point rounds are awfully effective.
But as to your question-
I don't know much about .327 fed mag, but wikipedia indicates a weapon chambered for it can fire basically any .32 caliber ammo.

Stay away from designer rounds. Stick to the tried and true unless you plan to beat people over the head with it during the apocalypse.
