I inherited a NEF revolver in 32 H&R Mag. Can I safely fire 327 Fed Mag ammo in this gun? Thanks, Mel

NO! The NEF and H&R revolvers were the reason pressures were kept low in the 32 H&R. The 327, aside from being longer, is loaded to over twice the pressure of the 32 H&R.

Redneck & TheKid: thanks, I guess it is a wall hanger. What about 32 W&W or 32 Long? in your professional opinion, safe to fire? Thanks, Mel

Should be fine with:
32 S&W - 13K psi
32 S&W Long - 14.5K psi
32 H&R Mag - 23.5K psi
327 Federal is a no-go. It should not chamber in the H&R chamber, but you never know. 327 Federal max pressure is up around 45K psi.
