Wonderful rifle. The caliber was somewhat popular here in the Northeastern US around the turn of the century. Usually in Winchester rifles. The 32-40 carbines were quite rare. Marlin also made many, though they are hard to find in my area. It was a popular white-tail round until eclipsed by the 30-30 first and then the .32 Special, which used a similar bullet at a higher velocity. My Grandfather used to admire the 32-40 and 38-55 because there was a lapse of time between when one pulled the trigger and then heard the thump of the bullet hitting the deer! I always thought this somewhat of a tall tail until I took a deer with a shotgun slug with similar results. I'm told the 32-40 was a popular target round in some areas of the country. I would think in a bolt action with cast bullets you should expect excellent accuracy.
