Oh my. Since I have a .310 Martini

and several .32 revolvers....

Actually on my .310 Martini, the chamber has been reamed a bit to chamber a .32 WCF case. But you cannot chamber a .32-20 with a heeled bullet pushed into the case as you mentioned. You HAVE to trim the case back just a bit to adjust the OAL to fit the throat. A remnant of the original .310 Martini.

I just bet I can do the same with .32 Long cases and those .321" 120 gr. bullets. Of course a very light load is needed as the bullet gets swaged down in the cylinder to .314", in my .32 H&R Ruger, it's soft lead anyway. It might be fun to experiment with it. Basically mimic a .32 Long Colt?
