Definitely it is, the little round almost defies physics. Always shows good expansion with good penetration. And has the recoil to me of the 38 special plus P at the most. Can’t wait to see a new video of the SP101 when you get it, or any other for that matter. You said you would be slowing down on videos and still getting them out!
All your videos are awesome! This one stands out and here's why, the 327 fm has never really taken off like it should have. Thanks to Henry and you buffalo I think you both might give the 327 some much needed attention. You done real good thank you for all you do.
Being the "327 Guy" at the local FFL is a badge I wear proudly! It all started with a Ruger LCR, then a 7.5” Single Seven and Henry carbine like this one! In a few days a 4.2” stainless GP100 comes home, too.
Another great review. In my shooting days, I always enjoyed small efficient cartridges and for whatever reason was drawn to .31 straight walls owning a 32 long. Even guns such as FAS in .32 wadcutter caught my interest; or idea of building a Smith model 30 with 6" slab sided barrel and good sighting. As shot placement is so important on animals, I would have no problem shooting deer with that little carbine. + 2,000fps for a 100 grain JHP in a 6.5lb, 35" long gun; bring it on!
Very cool. I been shooting a .327 LCR here and there in videos. I imagine that American Eagle round would give me 1,450 FPS in the snubby, so that rifle gives quite the increase! And that standard deviation, very nice. I bet the 45,000 PSI pressure plays a big part in that.
I am always impressed more by consistency than I am average velocities. When someone tells me an average velocity that doesn't tell me much without a SD attached. This cartridge is fast and consistent out of the Henry.
Had someone ask me recently what I thought about this rifle.... had to tell him that I didn't know Henry made one, now I do ! 😊 Really like the looks of that rifle, but I like the looks of all of the Henrys ! Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
Another Henry owner tested all the available .32 cartridges. He reported that he had no problem cycling the .32 S & W Long. His video showed that. But next his Henry could not cycle the .32 Short nor the .32 ACP. He had to manually insert the .32 Short and the .32 ACP, making his Henry a single-shot carbine. Yet he could fire both. It is thus versatile for this Henry model to be able to shoot the .32 S & W Long cartridge. You can also at the same time carry a revolver that shoots the .32 Long.
@@phileasler5401 The nice thing about the Henry application of the loading gates is that you get both. The loading gate is there for tactical reload but you still have the tube end option for quick unloading without running them all through the action. Perfect system. The .327 like the .357 is definitely a good option for a tactical rifle if equipped with a loading gate.
It’s a beautiful little rifle, look like you shot it really well too, it’s about the same as the 32-20 Winchester with 92 hi velocity loads, both my son and my daughter have kill deer with it, with 100 grain bullet just a tad over 2000 fps, having a straight wall cartridge is nice then you can use carbide dies, so it looks like it’s it’s the same bullets as the 32-20, I sure was hoping Winchester was going to come back out with a new run of them, that was a great video, hopefully they’ll start making them with a side loading Gate
Caught this first on Bitchute. The content and production values do not disappoint. Nor does your shooting. I guess if you send enough lead down range you learn not to suck. Thanks, Buff. That was some primo pickin'.
I saw your comment over on bitchute and left you a reply earlier today. Thank you for following me over there. You never know when RU-vid might do something to keep me from posting here.
A gorgeous rifle and a great review! Got here from your Ranger point video. Have to get one of these myself. Had to chuckle about your comment on factory ammo. Bought a bolt-action in 25 wssm, not a bad little round but read it had a reputation as a barrel burner... So I said I'm going to pull a box of bullets and reduce the powder charge by 5%. The powder charges varied from 42.6 grains to 46.2 grains. They averaged 44.6 which is about the right charge for one of the common powders, but oh my that variation!
Love the time lapse at the beginning. Always wanted to get into the the 327 family, would be fun reloading it all. Just a versatile little family of cartridges right there. Be nice to pair with an SP101 in 327, or even a single 7... 🤔 (Now I'm daydreamin again) Thanks Buffalo 👍
I had a brief "affair" with the H&R magnum about twenty years ago but finding ammo became a problem so I traded the little revolver in for a Colt's Detective Special in .38Spl and more or less forgot about the H&R and never thought much about the Federal Magnum at all until I found out about an old farmer who ordered five boxes of .32-20 rounds per year from a gun and pawn store near the Maryland-Pennsylvania line. He used that "antique" ammo in an original Winchester M92 to keep his freezer filled with venison....By the way, his slightly younger brother kept his freezer full shooting a .25-20 M92 which was also an original! Both men also used their carbines to control the coyote populations on their respective (neighboring) farms. Shortly after The Lovely Bride and I moved back home to our beloved South Carolina, earlier this year, I happened to notice that our local, family owned hardware store carried a small selection of rifle and handgun ammo among which were....Drum roll please....Five boxes of .25-20 ammo....Priced at $75.00 per box!!!! I asked why the ammo was even in the store and was advised by the owner that one old local farmer ordered five boxes every year and used his "antique Winchester and that ammo" for deer hunting and coyote control on his farm.....And that got me to thinking about the .327 Federal Magnum for the first time in a while. If Taurus-Rossi came out with a reproduction M92 in .327 Fed Mag I'd snap one up in a heart beat but failing that you might just have talked me in buying a Henry Big Boy Steel Carbine in that chambering with your two videos....And I've never been a huge fan of the Henry rifles in general. Keep the great videos coming!
I know that took a minute to write and I want you to know that I truly enjoyed reading that story. For me as a video creator this is my favorite part. Thanks so much for sharing!
what a sweet rifle and the cartridge surprised the heck out of me. I guarantee that would be great for deer. And the farm look amazing with the fog burn off, so cool
You're very welcome! Glad to hear that you enjoyed it! My biddy Greg did the banjo picking. I am trying to get him to make an appearance on the channel so you guys know who is providing the music.
@@buffalosoutdoors Henry themselves gasped when I told them what one. A big sight field. The mount they sell fits perfect. Plus i made a video on setting up the mount. Quick words are. Get a tube of duco cement and coat the underlying lug of the mount with a generous layer about five mil thick. This duco cement works as an anti catalytic for dis proportional types of metal for corrosion . Let the cement dry about an hour to let it harden up and thin itself down. The plastic layer also adds as a thin shock absorbing layer. I do this treatment to all my optics mounts. Ruger 1022 rifle to scope mounts. Red dot mounts or any touching surface. Say like the picatinny rail surfsce and red dot mounting surface. Just coat each area and let dry. This added protection also helps to keep surface marring to a minimum. At least when you take off the mount the metal pressure points are less because you have a buffer layer. This can also be used on the inside of scope rings as an added layer to prevent scope mount ring rash. Oh one more place to place a layer is the lever handle where it contacts the rifle frame. The layer needs redone depending on how many times you shoot but this method of having a protective layer of super strong decades tested plastic glue works great. Thanks for your time. Please share my idea to any you like.
I absolutely agree with you that .327 Fed Mag is way underrated. I've been carrying an LCRx in .327 Mag for a few months now and absolutely love it. Also a reloader (I think you have to be to be able to really enjoy the round) lol I'm hoping to come across one of these rifles soon!
Thank you for an excellent video about the .327 Henry. I especially liked your detailed explanation of the adjustable front sight. And, the the fact that nobody would question hunting deer with a 357 magnum with a 6-inch barrel, and the 327 in a carbine rifle has better ballistics; so of course you can hunt deer with it.
Another great video. Gotta love a good lever gun. I know I do. *:-)* I was going to comment on the recoil but you said it. You could see in the video that it was super light. Thanks for the video. Take it easy man. *:)*
Great video. I'm thinking that's going to be my next purchase. It looks like it right up there with a .32-20, only easier to reload for because of the straight walled case.
Great video and a classic little gun. And you said it....if its a Henry its in America or not made at all. Thanks for another great Buffalo outdoors video brother.
H&R brought out the 32 H&R magnum in order to increase the performance of their top breaks. They did an excellent job within the constraints of the chosen platform. It is an excellent cartridge in it's own right. After watching for a while to see how the cartridge was accepted, Federal came out with the 327. They "magnumized" a magnum. The energy figures for the 327 indicate that it closely approaches the 357 magnum's performance. You touched on versatility. A firearm chambered for 327 can safely use the 32 S&W short (a gentle 'learning' cartridge), the 32 S&W long (a highly accurate target round), the 32 H&R mag (a decent EDC cartridge in it's own right), and the 327 (which approaches the 357). I have taken to recommending that new, inexperienced, shooters, (particularly ladies), get the Ruger LCR in 327 Federal. Because of that very versatility. They can start low and learn, but still have the option of fullhouse performance. And yes, the Henry can use them all as well. Probably have to single load the short and the long, but it can safely use them.
Very impressive velocity. The only thing that is kept me off of Henry's centerfire guns is the lack of a side loading gate. Still though that is a nice little gun.
@@buffalosoutdoors yeah the loading gate on a lever gun puts it and most shotguns in a league that most guns don't have... The ability to be topped off while hot and ready to fire. I did notice Henry has now offered their 30-30 with a loading gate. Let's hope they follow suit with their pistol caliber options👍🇺🇸
This might be my next lever gun purchase. Another great vid! From the looks of it, out of a carbine, the .327 seems to come close ballistically to the .30 carbine...of which everyone says has almost no recoil and fun to shoot as well.
Dang, I like that rifle and cartridge , your transition from the stationary camera to the go pro and back with constant uninterrupted narration is amazing brother. Beautiful work. 👍
Wow, that’s scary! I was trying to decide on a Ruger LCR in .327 mag or 9mm, as a backup/car gun, but now you’ve shifted the Pro’s back towards the .327, so thank you for another great, yet mind altering video 🤔 lol
Only Buffalo can make bluegrass and guns work. I dismissed Henry's 327, but now I am rethinking it. It has just enough pasta for whitetail up close but you can switch out your ammo to 32 S&W Shorts and push it into a pot hunting gun like a 22 LR.
Yes! I am going to do a follow up to touch on the versatility of this gun. I didn't want to try to cover too much ground in one video and end up with a 30 minute video that no one would watch. '
We regularly take deer from our back porch 40-50yds with our old Remimgton 22lr....head shots makes for more meat!!! I'm sure that lil Henry is big enough for most anything with good shot placement. I wish I had the money for a new rifle, I'd take that 327 in a heartbeat!!!
Beautiful rifle, just what I'm looking for. The .327 Fed mag is a very high pressure cartridge, quite a bit higher than even the .357 Mag. Full power loads with powders like H110 are kinda unpleasant to shoot out of a revolver. What you can do is go to the fast powders (I use Titegroup) and load that at near max pressure. This makes a load that is still fast enough for defense but is a pussycat to shoot. Something like that would be great in this little carbine too, maybe around 1600fps. It needs a receiver sight though.
Great intro! Nice little rifle. 100 grain bullets at 2000fps is good enough. I've hunted and taken big mule deer with a 6 inch 357 magnum. The whitetail deer around here with 80-100 pounds The 327 federal magnum is enough for them. Great video as always!
