[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Appreciate the multiple mentions and the pinned comment brother. 000 buck at 750fps is a joke lol, but that's kinda what I wanted to see so thanks for doing it. Your .357 seemed to do near identical damage as my .40s&w did. This is why I'm a huge .40 fan- 10mm would only be better 😁

[@GunSam]

@@BuckeyeBallistics Thanks for watching. All the old police data on .357 Mag and .40 S&W would suggest that the pumpkins tell the truth.

[@GunSam]

Link to gel test of this .327 Federal Magnum ammo. It is Double-Tap 75 gr Tac-XP and in my 1.875" LCR I got 1,335 FPS AVG/297 FPE. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmm5hqaQd66YZqM

[@grahamohea2424]

The .357 and the .44 performed about how I would expect them to. The one that really impressed me was the .327 Fed Mag... a tremendous amount of effect from such a small package in a snubbie

[@GunSam]

On top of it, the lower end .327 Federal ammo like the Double-Tap has around 300 ft lbs energy, same recoil as .38 Special but closer to the effect of .357 Magnum. It has everything and fits in my pocket, even has 6 shots instead of 5. Capacity is low but I tend to hit everything I aim at because the LCR trigger is light.

[@grahamohea2424]

@@GunSam Plus, revolver guys are just better shots in general... they don't really need the extra capacity

[@jakerook6248]

@@GunSam yeah I'm impressed 👍 currently carrying 38sp running truncated 127gr (ammo Inc non HP) and get some really good results with almost no recoil, but the .327 is looking even more impressive for both terminal velocity and follow-up shots 🔥(p.s-- would love to see more tests of flatnose/truncated non-hp options for those of us in areas where that's the only thing available 🙏🙏🙏)

[@GunSam]

@@grahamohea2424 Maybe lol. One thing I find funny is for whatever reason, people that shoot autos and nothing more will assume that a reload requires someone to singly reload each round. They never heard of speed loaders, speed strips or anything else. Shot 6 to shot 7 could be obtained in 2 seconds with practice.

[@willo7734]

I love the 327. My LCR is my favorite revolver for sure. It’s too bad that the caliber isn’t more widely known. I’ve asked guys at gun shops if they have 327 federal magnum ammo and some have said “you mean 357 magnum?”

[@327Federal]

327 Federal obliterated that pumpkin. Even with a tiny snub nose barrel. It is truly a Modern Marvel.

[@GunSam]

It's an awesome cartridge. Feels like shooting a .38 Special, hit the target like .357 Mag from a snub.

[@michaelrains2268]

Yep 327 is a dandy self-defense cartridge!

[@327Federal]

@@michaelrains2268 MORE OF THIS !

[@Ifoughtpiranhas]

The .357 Magnum will always be my all-time favorite round, but the .327 Federal Magnum has really been coming into its own, especially now that more ammo manufacturers are producing more premium loads for that cartridge.

[@dbx1233]

That was a good demonstration showing that 44 mag. and 357 mag. are in a league of their own.

[@brianmoore1164]

The 327 mag is such a great round for carry. I have never understood why it isn't more popular. Low recoil, good terminal ballistics, light concealable sized firearms, I have always been surprised that it didn't really catch on.

[@jaspergrooms]

I bought a Taurus 327 Federal Mag after watching this video. It's became my EDC.

[@LionquestFitness]

I'm impressed with the . 327 magnum out of the LCR. Too bad it's not a readily available round. At least for now.

[@GunSam]

Yeah, hard to find. Best you could do now days is the Buffalo Bore .32 H&R+P, about the same energy as the Double-Tap. Federal announced nearly a year ago they were releasing an HST .327 Federal, but so far I haven't seen it anywhere.

[@LionquestFitness]

@@GunSam If it starts becoming more available I'm going to invest in an LCR.

[@GunSam]

@@LionquestFitness Or invest in the Lee .32 H&R Magnum die set lol. Apparently the .327 Federal set doesn't exist but Lee says you just use the .32 H&R one. One thing I do like is being able to find .32 S&W Long anytime I want and shoot that. Fun to shoot like a .22.

There is no denying your .327 pocket gun beats the monstrous .410 and the 686 is still the one to look up to.

I was impressed the .312 caliber was able to crack up a water filled pumpkin.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Would like to repeat this running 20" carbine lever guns with the .357 and .44 to see the increased drama. Fun test. LG50 over on his channel shot a big water-filled pumpkin with a hot .50-110 and it looked like a grenade lit off. Pieces of pumpkin blew sky high.

You wont be disappointed. I hope you were able to get you one.

[@cynicsupreme]

The more I see 44 magnum and owning one, the more I love the round and the capabilities of the revolver.

[@ironmikehallowween]

The 44 can do everything that can reasonably be expected of a handgun. I love them. It was the first caliber of handgun that I ever bought for myself. It was for a pig hunt. Having said that, a 357 magnum can do 95% and is actually all that most of us can master with the hottest loads. The versatility of both of these calibers is astonishing.

[@toolmakerbest1584]

So much for the impending Pumpkin Apocalypse! Those pumpkins don't stand a chance! OK, on a more serious note: .327 - wow! Until seeing your vids, the .32 family didn't quite "speak" to me; nor did the LCR. Well, my mind has been changed.

[@maptinkler]

That was fun to watch and informative. The 327 Federal was very impressive! You could use that for a unique different trick for Halloween! Bet the kidos won't stick around for the the treats! LOL

[@LarryeWhite61]

Sure glad I now have 2 snub-nose wheel guns. LCR in 327 Fed magnum and also a 442 in 38 special. Sams video's helped me choose the best ammo.

[@GunSam]

If I happened to have had the .38 Special+P 110 gr Critical Defense ammo I would have used them in this video. I have tested a lot of .38 Special ammo and it's that caliber much like .380 ACP where it seems to get text book expansion and penetration one test, then the next test it completely fails in some way. The Critical Defense+P is the one .38 Special that has the least of those failures, I mean it will happen from time to time but I have tested it more than any other round and I would estimate it has a 90% success rate for expansion/penetration. With .327 Federal it's easy to always have good penetration, but the choices are so low now days in ammo that recommending which round does best is difficult to do, but thus far in my limited testing the Double-Tap does the best.

Thanks. I have ran that ammo at least 3 times from 3 different boxes from my 686. The other boxes averaged closer to 1,600 FPS, but that's still pretty good.

[@adamesd3699]

[@GunSam]

Out of all .32 calibers, that is the one that is hardest to find. That being said, unlike .327 Federal....hand loads I have made with .32 H&R are more powerful than most factory .32 H&R Mag ammo.

[@archipelago93]

I’m just now learning about certain differences in revolver calibers and maybe the biggest surprise to me is the difference between 38 special and 357 magnum. The latter cartridge seems only a little bit larger and yet it seems far more powerful!

[@adamesd3699]

The difference is not really in the size of the cartridge, but rather in the pressure the round is rated at. The .357 Magnum is around double the pressure of a normal .38.

[@yescharliesurfs]

Honestly mate perfect video. Just what I wanted to see the options you get with revolvers. I thought it would be good to hike with a couple of smaller revolvers and a bigger one. So you wouldn't have to reload or bring spare rounds, you could rely on your spare guns like in pirate days lmao

[@jamespeacock7202]

Great show uncle sam. Appreciate ya

[@merlemorrison482]

I think it would be interesting to re run this test in your old jug or not medium. Having a consistent container of water would be a more uniform test.

[@mechanomanperfect6146]

This was an interesting and fun one, keep up the good work 👍

[@ca2129]

Finally the scientific test we have all been waiting for

[@honorb4glory606]

The .410 may not have looked impressive, but that's very similar to four .380 round-nose FMJ's per shot. Many people think .410 handguns are inadequate for defense, but not many people are going to continue fighting after getting .380 quadruple-tapped instantaneously. Just gotta make sure you have the right ammo, and you're carrying it in a very close-range setting.

[@johnyracercat]

I have one I may carry from time to time. I think of it as better odds of hitting a coyote that may be moving. You do have to make a mental note that the shot will expand and what is around the target.

[@CarlMarcum]

great video! If you ever do another one could you let the 45 Colt have a full pumpkin. I'd like to see how that compares.

You can tell that the .327 is a proper magnum and not a pseudo magnum like it's relative the .32 H and H.

[@mr.skeptical3071]

That .327 is pretty nasty

[@crankygunreviews]

Like I told Guns and cars, you need to fill the pumpkins with orange soda. That’s what Paul Harrell does, it has a little bit more of an effect because of the carbonation. I may do this video with pistols and try to shoot a little mini gourds. I think that would be fun to, not so much on the explosive power, but on the accuracy. Course I’ll probably go through a box of ammo trying to hit a couple of these lol

[@GunSam]

haha, maybe. Be 'fun' trying to fill them lol. I used my garden hose and it took like 35 seconds per pumpkin, they hold a lot of water. Mini gourd with .22's sounds fun, on like hanging on strings.

[@johnhastings353]

Hey Pal..I have a Henry Carbine and a Ruger both in 327 fed mag. Where do you find ammo for that round!?!?? Frustrated🤔🤣

[@GunSam]

Generally from Buffalo Bore directly 100 gr XTP. If that is out of stock their .32 H&R+P in a snub nose is identical power, but in a rifle it will be less powerful. Their hard cast .327 would do well in a rifle. I also hand load .327 Mag, not a big deal for me.

[@GunSam]

Thank you

[@mtm7014]

Any suggestions where I can get some .327 Federal Magnum Double Tap? I purchased the Ruger awhile ago but haven’t had any luck feeding it.

[@GunSam]

Unfortunately .327 Federal is near impossible to find. Even on ammoseek all you find is Underwood Xtreme Defender. Double-Tap .327 Federal isn't even available from Double-Tap currently. Your best choice right now if you wanted something similar in performance is to go to Buffalo Bore's website (they do not list on ammoseek like everyone else) or Midwayusa and look for their 100 gr XTP .32 H&R Magnum+P (.327 Federal is out of stock even at BB) because that's the 'best' load available for a .327 Federal revolver at the moment. I generally get by for training and carry by getting whatever I can at the moment for carry like that Buffalo Bore, and shoot .32 S&W Long or cheaper .32 H&R Mag for training.

If you write to everyone “you won” no one will believe you lol

[@Fudmottin]

That was pretty cool! I think I've been catching onto something rather obvious. If you want impressive looking results when you hit water filled objects like pumpkins or water jugs, velocity is the key. It also helps if the bullet explodes open on impact. This will kill penetration, but those splashes will be impressive! So how do you get 2000fps out of a 2-3" barrel without turning your revolver into shrapnel?

[@GunSam]

Yes, exactly. I find the pumpkin and watermelon testing fun, but really it's a measure of how well energy dump is at shallow depth. You could get this good effect with or without adequate penetration.

[@Fudmottin]
