The chamber is just big enough for the cartridge case body to fit in. So if the rim is even only .005" larger in diameter than the case body it still won't go in the chamber any further than if the rim was an 1/8" larger.
As long as the rim is any amount larger than the case body, it will seat in the chamber to the same depth as a .32 long.
