Personal choice is a major consideration for single shot shooters. There is no one cartridge any more than there is one stock that is best. Each case addresses individual concerns or addresses perceived inadequacies in the traditional 32-40 or 38-55 cases of the past. 
  The quest started when Charlie Dell designed a case to address the fact that with the use of smokeless powder a case the size of the 32-40 had more than enough boiler room. He wanted a case than would hold the powder needed and overfill on a double charge. He settled on a .357 Mag case tapered to .32. Dean had developed a similar case the .32 Miller a .357 max case tapered to .32.
A couple of years later Dean Miller and Rich Kayser thought to shorten the case and developed an almost identical case. If you look at the two cases side by side you can’t tell the difference. Later cases addressed other concerns that the three earlier cases did not take into account. In my case I wanted to address the problem of loading a short case into actions such as the Winchester High Wall and the Sharps Borchardt. I was aware of the .32 Miller but wanted to develop my own case, kind of like the Dodge brothers knew Henry Ford made a car, they just wanted to make their own. Others jumped off in different directions to address their own concerns.
  All of these cases show potential. I don’t think for performance one case has a clear performance advantage over the other. My experiments with the 32-30 IMP show identical speeds when duplicating loads that others use in their 32 X .357 Dells or .32 Miller shorts.

A year or so back I asked, What 32 cal case should I go with in a new barrel.
I had a 32-40 but it was a BP cartridge.

A very wise and experienced shooter told me, (Dale Reynolds)

Go with the reamer you can get.

I am glad I went with the 32-30 Imp, There was a immediate improvement in my scores.

Why a 32?  Because I had moulds already.

The 32-30 Imp is much easier to use arthritic hands to insert the case in the breech, and if double charged, powder runs over.

I have another 32 cal barrel ordered from RK Smith.

I think Jeff Schultz has the best idea yet, start with a high end match barrel, chamber it for the smallest shortest 32 like a 32-20, and if need be work my way up to the next largest 32 case, then the next, till I get to the old 32-40 that was really made for BP. 

I figure if I do it in something like a CPA or a Ruger # 1 I wont have to worry about the problem of loading a short cartridge and should not have an extractor problem. 

My next question if I may:

Most all agree that one of the most important components is the bullet, being that I'm not into casting and it would probably take forever for me to learn how to cast good match bullets, can anyone recommend where one could buy match grade cast rifle bullets ?. 

I know there are lots of sources for jacked match grade bullets but don't remember ever seeing lead rifle bullets listed as match grade.
 Thanks for the help guys.

      Good [match grade] bullets are not hard to make, a J Borton or P Jones mould and a melting pot and some lead alloy and with practice, you can be making these same bullets in maybe a month.  Cast bullet shooting is very much a casting game but, to answer your question no one is going to make these match grade bullets for you, if you were to find someone to make bullets for you what about the next 100 or 1000 you need where will they come from, will they be the same bullet you were shooting good with last week. I hope you will jump in with both feet and learn to cast bullets, personally I like to cast bullets, its part of the game, I wouldn't let the best bullet caster in the world make bullets for me.  leadball

Leadball,
I was assuming that like jacked bullets someone that sells Schuetzen supplies would have enough quality control that they could control what there makeing from batch to batch. Like anything else we buy, 22 Ammo, Powder, Primers, etc. all the items seem to have lot numbers to control how it's made. 

I'm not talking about buying small quantity of bullets like 50 or 100 at a time, I would buy them like I buy my 22 Ammo, and my jacked bullets, maybe 1000 or 2000 at a time, that would be about a years supply for me, in my part of the world I can only shoot about 5 months out of the year.

At this point I have nothing to cast with, no pot, no mould, no lead, no lube tool, no experience, etc. have nothing, and would not know what to buy or how to use it.

Glad to hear you like casting bullets, and if you wouldn't let the best bullet caster in the world make bullets for you it sounds like you must know what your doing and are probably shooting winning scores with your bullets.

Being that you like to cast so much would you sell me a 1000 of your best bullets, don't need them this year as my shooting season is just about over, but would like to have them about April or May of next year. 

If this is something that you would do to help out a new Schuetzen Shooter it's very much appreciated, this would help both of us, you would be doing what you like,  casting bullets, and getting paid to do it, and I get a chance to get into the Schuetzen game with some of the best bullets made,  just let me know the cost per 1000 and where to send the funds.

Bob,
I have Randy Wright's new book on the way. Now if my funds hold out I'm looking for the Dell Schuetzen book.

40 Rod,
Is that "one guy"  that likes to cast Leadball, if not can you let me know who the other guy is that likes to cast.

Joe,
It's not so much the weather where I live it's me, I have a condition that when it drops below 65 I become house bound. I do get to the Post Office once a week, or at least once every two weeks for sure. There's no liquor store close by but as to a bush pilot liking hooch, that's not a problem, the boys around here make there own and we always seem to have enough for everyone. 

I really would like to give the Schuetzen shooting game a try and soon as Leadball gets back to me I figure I will have enough bullets for a years worth of shooting, then I'll know for sure if I want to get more involved. 

Another good thing about Leadball liking to cast is that if I do get into casting I'll have some of the Leadball bullets to gauge my bullets by. 
What could be better than that. I'm really glad that he likes to cast, this way it wont be a burden on him as he will be doing what he likes to do and helping out a new shooter, I only hope that I can do the same favor for a new shooter when I get to be an experienced shooter. I like the idea of passing it on and helping other shooters.

Joe,
I don't expect Leadball to cast for nothing just because he likes to cast. 
I already offered to pay for his expertise and his material and time. I really don't need a couple thousand bullets, 1000 would do just fine, I'll be happy with 500 just to get started.

As to swappin some hooch, I don't know where he is but if he's within drivein distance maybe that could be done, I wont ship it, as that stuff could explode if not handled right.
