IIRC, someone, or maybe multiple someones, wrote about the 32WS being very inaccurate if the bore was damaged....
All calibers can suffer accuracy issues if the bore is damaged. What makes you think this is unique to the .32?
I would direct your attention to page 61 in COTW, 4th Edition, from 1980. Whoever wrote the summary of the 32 WS blessed us with the following gems:
"If there is such a thing as a most useless cartridge, the .32 Spl. would certainly cop the prize.".
"Once the bore of a .32 Spl. begins to go, you can't hit a flock of barns with it.".
"It's a lot better than the .30-30 only if don't think smokeless powder is really here to stay.".
My earlier copies of COTW are all dog-eared, stained, and MIA, but I believe that this "unbiased" review was printed in earlier editions, perhaps as far back as the 1st Edition that was published fifty years ago, in 1965.
