Hunting With the 327 Federal

The 327 Federal Magnum shoots flat and fast for a revolver cartridge, which makes it an underrated hunting round at handgun distances. For hogs, coyotes, and deer-sized game at close range, the bullet needs to penetrate through muscle and bone to reach the vitals. A non-expanding hardcast solid is built for exactly that.

The wide flat nose is what gives a hardcast solid its effect. Rather than slipping through tissue, the broad face crushes a full-diameter channel along its entire path. The gas check on the base protects the bullet from hot powder gas at magnum velocities and helps keep the bore clean of lead.

From a 6 inch revolver or a carbine, velocity climbs toward the top of DoubleTap’s listed range, extending effective distance for hunters who practice. From a short carry revolver the same load becomes a dependable woods round for hikers and anglers in places where large animals are a concern.

DoubleTap ammunition is known for careful quality control and purpose-built loads. The DoubleTap 327 Fed Mag 120gr Hunter gives 327 owners one box that covers hunting, trail carry, and practice with full-power recoil.

Field Notes and Hunting Tips

Sight in at the distance you plan to hunt, usually 25 to 50 yards for a revolver. Heavy bullets often print higher than light practice loads in fixed-sight guns, so confirm your hold before the season.

Know your limits. Handgun hunting rewards careful shot placement, so keep shots inside the range where you can reliably hit a small target from a field position, and aim for the heart and lungs.

Hardcast solids penetrate deeply and often exit. Always confirm what lies beyond your target, and avoid shooting at rock or other hard surfaces where a solid bullet can ricochet.

Clean the bore and chambers after range sessions. Even with a gas check, hardcast bullets at magnum speed can leave some lead in the barrel, and a quick pass with a bronze brush keeps accuracy consistent.

If you carry this load for protection on the trail, practice drawing and firing quickly from your holster or chest rig. Store spare boxes in a cool, dry place away from solvents and lubricants.

This load is a strong fit for handgun hunters with a 327 Federal revolver or lever-action carbine, and for hikers who want a deep-penetrating trail round. If you want 327 Fed Mag hunting ammo with a proven hardcast design, the DoubleTap 327 Fed Mag 120gr Hunter is a proven choice.
