Feeding a 327 Blackhawk
« on: April 06, 2010, 06:27:02 AM »
Veral made me a 4 cavity mold for a 130 grain flat base FN bullet for my 327.   This thing weighs 132 grains on my scales.  The nose is .45 long...  Now for a little size and lube... :)

That looks like what I would like to be shooting from mine. That is if I can ever get my hands on some brass. :( I have shot my new blackhawk some with .32 H&Rs and it shows lots of promise.

Do you think you might need a gas check with those? And do you think a guy could weasel 24 or so of them off ya jus ta try? ;D

Bob--

Sorry if I'm beating the dead horse, as I'm new to this site, as of tonite.

Freedom Arms sells .327 brass--phone number's posted on their website.

My 327 brass did come from FA...  Came primed too!

Yo Badnews Bob....  I hated when Judge Roy Bean shot you in the back from the barn loft...  You were kind of asking for it though... ;) ;D
I'll share some bullets...  You want them sized?  Where are you located. Send me a PM...
No GC for this mold..  Maybe the next one...

That is a good looking bullet. I am using the NEI #82 and the NEI #76 as my heavy bullets for the Ruger Blackhawk, both are gas check bullets. My Blackhawk cylinder measures a rough 1.7450” long overall.
My #82 bullet weighs a nominal 122-grains ready to seat. The #82 bullet is .709” long and I use a COAL of 1.5650”. Cast from my soft mix the #82 bullet weighs 130-grains lubed, checked and ready to seat.

The #76 bullet is more of a traditional SWC bullet and is .783” long without the gas check. I use a COAL of 1.580”. This bullet weighs a nominal 125-grains and 138-grains lubed and checked, ready to seat.

I am sizing both bullets in a .313” sizer; my cylinder throats measure a little over .312” using a ball gage.

I am able to push the gas check bullets well above 1,300 fps in the 5” Blackhawk but have been thinking about a heavy plain base bullet for the heavy frame 327 Federal revolvers. 1,200 fps is a good velocity for heavy bodied raccoon and porcupine as when shooting up into trees I want the bullet to remain in the body but penetrate a shoulder if I can work the angle.
