327 Federal Magnum/32 H&R Lever Action Rifle - Rampy - 04-06-2025

I know absolutely nothing about the 327 Federal cartridge but am rather invested into the 32 H&R J Frames as my primary carry 

Looking at lever action rifles that shoot the 32 H&R and stumbled across the 327 Fed Mag Henry Big Boy Classic 


Question is how good of a cartridge out of the lever action rifle is the 327 Fed Mag??


Live in Wyoming, travel across Colorado, Montana, North central Idaho off the beaten path & in some really remote country is the 327 Federal Magnum enough of a caliber with the ability to shoot 32 H&R magnums for fun..

I know nothing about the 32s but out of a carbine length bbl the 357 becomes a different thing entirely with around 400-500 more fps.

The 327 Fed Mag looks impressive out of a lever action rifle, but without real world experience I’m really hesitant

Finally did taxes and owed more than the cost of a S&W 44 magnum lever action rifle

Really think I’ll go with a 44 mag lever action rifle with some kind of red dot or scout scope

I think the 327 is a great round and would be fantastic from a carbine, but I wouldn't touch a Henry with a 10 foot pole if I had one. I've owned all the major brands of 44 lever guns and the smith and wesson is probably my favorite even with that goofy big loop lever on it.
