In this video I run 4 different ammo types through the 327 magnum LCR and chronograph the results. Summary below:
32acp: Average velocity 744 fps
74 ft lbs of muzzle energy
32 S&W long: average velocity 915 fps
175 ft lbs of muzzle energy
32 H&R magnum: average velocity 867 fps (lower than the 32 long)
142 ft lbs of muzzle energy
327 magnum: average velocity 1132 fps (this is a plinking load, I could drive it up to 1400 fps)
256 ft lbs of muzzle energy (a big difference over the older 32 offerings)
I hope this is helpful to someone out there looking at this cartridge, it is a really cool cartridge. And Henry makes a lever gun now!!
