At the casting bench in the sky. RIP Bret.
Hows the rifling? No sense getting the wallet out if the rifling is shot. I've got 2 32-20's and a couple 22's in that condition. Barrel lining, done right, isn't easy or cheap. If the rifling is strong, you may want to research things and see if the 32 S+W LONG would be viable. I say this simply because the Long case is so, so, SO much easier to handle than the shorter 32 S+W. Just getting them into the shell holder can be a pain if you don't have little girly fingers. Brass is also far more common. Of course you don't have to load the Long to full potential, which in a rifle is up near factory 32-20 ballistics. Those older pistol rounds can become something altogether different in a rifle barrel with slower powders.
I have to rent a 32 S+W Long reamer for 2 rifles. The #4 Remington will get the full length 32 S+W Long. The #6 Rem falling block will get opened only enough for the shorter 32 S+W, just so if anyone ever does play with it besides me, there won't be any hotter loads run through it.
