Been eyeing one... anyone know if this could be reamed out to 327 magnum? Is the cylinder long enough?

From Hamilton Bowen's website.
NO. RS06 (2) .327 MAG. SINGLE-SIX CYLINDER CONVERSION Designed specifically for the .32 H&R Single-Sixes, this procedure affords a simple, cost-effective conversion to the wonderful .327 Magnum cartridge that utilizes the factory barrel. Includes the necessary long-body cylinder, shortening the barrel extension and recutting the forcing cone. The action is tuned and cylinder reblued. Also applicable to both blue and stainless steel Vaqueros. Please note: this conversion is available only for center-fire guns. Please see the OPTIONS section for a variety of additional modifications available.

I know this was not your question, but try the .32 H&R loads first. I have had more fun with my Single Six .32 than I could have imagined.

Any particular reason you don’t want to just buy a single seven?

I was gifted mine from a dear friend who replaced his with a Single Seven. The single Seven shot fine but loading was a little odd as the cylinder didn't quite line up with the loading gate. Roll the cylinder till it clicks into place and it was too far to load or unload so it was a little different routine...

The Single Seven was developed so that the cylinder notches could be further offset between chambers due to the cartridge's high operating pressure.
Sure, rechambering the H&R cylinder has been done, but you end up with a short COAL.

I've owned a Single Six with a Bisley grip frame in .32 H&R since the early 1980s and have owned and sold several others over the years. It's one of my favorite single action revolvers. I see no reason to need more out of it for any purpose I've used it for than it provides. The .327 is a fine cartridge, but the .32 H&R is sufficient for any type of hunting for which you'd use such a cartridge and in addition is extremely accurate. I also have an SP101 in .32 H&R with a 4-inch barrel. It's a fun gun as well.

Thanks for all the feedback. Single seven is the way to go If you want the extra HP, I agree. The 327 is quite snappy, The extra weight of the steel grip frame helps attenuate recoil.
