32 H&R Ammo

Overview of .32 H&R Magnum Ammo

.32 H&R Magnum is a rimmed revolver cartridge that offers much more power than .32 S&W Long with recoil far lighter than .38 Special. It fires a .312-inch bullet, usually 85 to 130 grains, at around 1,000 to 1,100 fps. Small-frame revolvers like the Ruger Single Six and SP101 and the Charter Arms Professional make it a popular choice for small game, pest control, and recoil-sensitive shooters.

Any revolver chambered in 327 Federal Magnum also fires .32 H&R Magnum, along with .32 S&W Long and .32 S&W.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I shoot .32 H&R Magnum in a 327 Federal revolver?

Yes. Revolvers chambered in 327 Federal Magnum safely fire .32 H&R Magnum, as well as .32 S&W Long and .32 S&W. The reverse is not true: never fire 327 Federal in a revolver chambered only for .32 H&R Magnum.

Can I shoot .32 S&W Long in a .32 H&R Magnum revolver?

Yes. .32 H&R Magnum revolvers can fire .32 S&W Long and .32 S&W, which are shorter, lower-pressure versions of the same cartridge family. They make a good low-recoil practice option.

Is .32 H&R Magnum good for self-defense?

It can be, especially for recoil-sensitive shooters. .32 H&R Magnum carries energy close to standard .38 Special with less recoil, and small-frame revolvers often hold six rounds instead of five. Choose a load designed for penetration and practice with your revolver.

More About .32 H&R Magnum Ammo

Harrington & Richardson and Federal introduced .32 H&R Magnum in 1984 by lengthening the .32 S&W Long case and loading it to higher pressure. The goal was a revolver cartridge with .38 Special-class performance and lighter recoil.

The cartridge built a loyal following among small game hunters and revolver enthusiasts, and in 2008 it became the parent case for the more powerful 327 Federal Magnum. Today it remains a versatile, pleasant-shooting option for small-frame revolvers.
