I really like the .32 WS and I'd pick it anytime over the .30-30. However, I shoot a lot of cast bullets and the 1-16" rate of twist in the .32 WS, same as in the .32-40, has an edge over the .30-30's 1 in 12" twist for shooting lead at 2000 fps and more. With Lyman's old #321297 the old .32 WS is a real performer. My .32's are both Winchesters from 1949, one 94 carbine and one Model 64. Yes, I like them enough that one wasn't enough. Shoot sharp, Mike
