What do you fine gentleman think the easiest way for me to finagle a contender barrel in .327 would be? Or am I barking up the wrong tree due to the ridiculous pressures the little federal produces? I think the cartridge would absolutely shine in a 6 to 8 inch contender as varmint destroyer. Really it is under rated and I have been having more fun shooting my .327 sp101 than my .41 mag Blackhawk, which is hard for me to say in public. Could I lengthen the chamber in a .32 H&R magnum barrel, if I could find one? Or should I just call someone like Bullbery and see if they will make it? Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Call MGM and have them build you an 8-10" barrel like you want it.
Would be a cool little round.
If it jams force it! If it breaks it needed replacing anyway.

weasel,
You can cut the chamber of the 32 H&R barrel, not complicated. However, finding a Contender barrel in 32 H&R may be difficult. The 30M1 Carbine is pretty close ballistically.

What he said ^^^ I don't know that a 6"er would do the 327 justice.
Rod, too.
Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

Thanks for the input, looks like step two will be a phone call.
