I read about this new caliber on line. Here's the site, the article is listed under 'Ammo';
 
 
So far Ruger has a revolver to handle this caliber, the SP101. The .327magnum has 20% less recoil than a .38spl + P. The gun also can shoot .32 S&W, .32spl, .32 H&R magnum rounds.
 
Subjected to the standard FBI protocol tests for effectiveness through barriers, the 115 grain .327 magnum load reaches:
   15"  Bare Gellatin
   16"  Heavy Clothing
   16"  Plywood
14.5"  Wallboard
   13"  Auto Glass
   20"  Single Layer vehicle body steel

Never heard of it until I just looked it up. From what I read, it sounds like it would be a good round. But also from what I read, the availbility doesn't sound all that cool!

Yeah, I agree Cat-Dude. I really like my snubnose .38spl +P, and if I want more power, then I have my .357mag. When I first saw this .327mag, I thought is this a joke? Good luck finding the gun let alone the ammo. Bet WalMart doesn't have it.

Beware of odd-ball ammunition.  Ever heard of .307 Winchester?  No, thas not a typo for .308 Winchester. 
 
If ever there was an odd-ball caliber, this would have to be one.  Someone made a rifle chambered for it and it was commercially loaded, but I have no clue as to what rifle or if the stuff is still loaded.
