Does it specify, anywhere on the gun, the complete name of the caliber? Failing which, could you list the model number of the rifle? This might help.
There were/are a lot of .32 caliber cartridges offered over time.
Could you be more precise please?

:agree: with xl_traget. More information about the rifle and images would help a lot!

Its probably the .32 Winchester Special Cartridge, which has the same case dimensions as the .30-30 Winchester Cartridge except for using a .321" bullet instead of the .308" bullet as in the latter.

On the gun bore has been written as .32WS Made in USA,I can not understand because .32 is a revolver bore . But the cartidges of my rifle are very large in size as compare to revolver ?I tried to use .315 bore and SLR rifle ammo but they are big for the chamber .I would b :cheers: e grateful if u can suggest alternate ammo.

What you are looking for are .32 Winchester Special cartridges for a Model 94 Winchester rifle. Good luck! This cartridge was never as popular as its near twin, the .30-30 Winchester. It is still loaded, though only by Hornady and Winchester, and not widely distributed anywhere.
There is nothing that specifies that caliber "xyz" has to be either a pistol or rifle bore/cartridge.
