It was developed and introduced in 1984 as a joint venture between Harrington & Richardson and Federal Premium Ammunition. The .32 Magnum was designed to be more than double the speed and energy of the less powerful .32 Smith & Wesson Long cartridge, on which it is based. Loadings for the .32 H&R Magnum even typically exceed hot .38 Special +P loads in terms of both speed and energy. The .32 Magnum also has a higher maximum pressure than the .38 Special.https://gunnewsdaily.com/327-federal-magnum/ 327 Federal Magnum: A Good .357 Magnum Alternative? 31 December 2022 Federal would later stretch the case further to create the .327 Federal Magnum.
