    I know you're an expert on the old school calibers, but I just gotta say my Henry carbine in .327 Fed Mag is pretty darn slick. Right now I have the matching Ruger SP101 and GP100, and am looking for a 5" Single Seven.

    So to the OP, I say .327 Fed, if looking for a new intermediate cartridge. Out of the Henry, you get pretty snappy performance (for a pistol round) with very little kick. Just a lot of fun.

    .

    Nothing wrong with .327, I have a modern Lightning copy that has interchangeable cylinders for 32-20 and 327.

    Hand loading can stretch the 32-20 further than the 327 for rifles, I think the case capacity is larger, that's assuming you have a gun that can hold what you make.;)

    It really all depends on what you want to do with it. My new hotness is the 6 arc. If you hand load it will cover everything from varmint to deer. For some ungodly reason I have been drawn to the 6mm WOA, I have been all over White Oak Armaments website and I cant find diddly. Its more or less a 6.8 spc necked down to 6mm. The poo poo thing about it is that its a wildcat so industry support is near non existent. I just like the idea of having a bit more meat left on the ar15 bolt face than the 6arc gives me.
