In the process of squeezing more accuracy out of my 32's, I'm considering opening up the throats on a couple revolvers and was wondering what some have tried and become successful with? I'm getting between .307 and .309 cylinder throats but with a .312 bore. It seems that .003 to .005 spread under bore diameter would be problematic. Is anyone out there who has reamed their throats and to what diameter?
 
I don't have a .32 but I have six Vaqueros in 45 Colt that I use for Cowboy Action. The 45 is known for undersize cylinder throats. I bought the cylinder reamer from Brownells to do mine. Brownells has a 32 cal. cylinder reamer part # 184-051-320WB made by Clymer that should do the job. You should call Clymer first and get the specs on it to make sure it will open the throat enough. If it will you're good to go.
