I guess the .32-20 has a shoulder but its not much of one. I never owned anything in that caliber but being an old cartridge I am guessing it has thin brass which minimizes the problem and much less pressure than a 7.62x25. The 7.62 Tok has a much more pronounced shoulder too.

Look up why S&W discontinued the 2 Jet chambered model 53. There were other problems but cylinder binding was the main reason.

The 32-20 has a lot more in common with the 22 Hornet than the 7.62x25. Taurus makes a 22 Hornet revolver and I have not read any complaints about. Probably for the same reasons your 32-20 revolver works.

BTW, keeping the chambers clean helps too. Do you keep your 32-20 clean?
