32-40 is what I think the general consensus will be with the following ( I list an order so others can suggest improvements):
1) CPA is a fine choice but get the fast lock time and lowered hammer for easier breach seating tool design.
2) 28" #3 weight barrel unless you are young and strong.
3) Schuetzen lever ( although I prefer the loop).
4) High comb stock
5) Single prong schoyen plate.
6) 14 ± 2 power Unertl 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 or lyman super targetspot.
7) Iron sights are up to you (MVA Soule or others)
8) Bullet mold I would go 190 ±10 gr
9) 1:14 ish twist.

Calibers that I'm considering 32 Miller short, 32-20 CPA, and 32-40. The more I read about the 32-20 CPA it seems to be a great caliber or terrible. Not much middle ground.
1. I know nothing about the hammer options.
2. This gun will be scope only. Im thinking a little shorter and heavier on the barrel. Half round. I'm a big guy. I shoot heavy guns off hand. This gun should have better balance than what I usually shot.
3. Love the Schuetzen lever
4.like the high comb Pope style.
5. It's going to be single prong.
6. I do well with airgun silhouette shooting 24x off hand. I would like to get a uberti somewhere close to this power. Let me know if there is a reason to not shoot the higher power.
7. No intention of iron sights.
8 and 9. I will trust the advice I'm given.
If I'm missing something let me know. I have done some research but this is a whole new game
