I just purchased a Charter Arms .327 magnum and fell over at the cost of the ammo at 25.00 per box for 20 rounds. I will definitely will be reloading but I wanted to see if anyone else has loaded any.

Welcome to Gunloads.

I haven't loaded it, but I can't see that doing so would be any different than any other revolver cartridge of similar pressure limits. BEYE for target loads and UNQ for hunting/defense, or maybe HERCO for very hot loads. If you are looking for loading data, email Sierra and they will be happy to provide you with some, check the Hodgdon site, too. If brass is too pricy, you can shoot .32mag in it, but like .38's in a .357, make sure you brush out the cylinder really well before loading the longer cases. Like with .38spec, you can use .32mag data, but you will not even begin to explore the round's potential at those charge levels. But if you are just going to shoot targets, that won't be an issue.
