I built a high wall with a Ron Smith gain-twist bbl in 32-40, it was a heckuva shooter but I was turned off by the large capacity and the stainless steel (10 yrs ago). A friend gave me a 30-357 Maximum reamer and that will be my next Schuetzen.

Lots of fine old rifles are chambered in 32-40; one possibility for safely shooting these old rifles might be to use an 'Everlasting' case with reduced internal capacity to prevent double-charging. For breech-seating using a single case this would be about perfect, the case could even be made out of steel if wanted. IMO a bronze or copper Everlasting case would be a very worthy accessory for any Schuetzen shooting box!
