What is the question? ALL .32-20 ammunition, by definition, is Rifle ammunition since the .32-20 IS a Rifle cartridge. This is true regardless of when the ammunition was made.

But, with one exception, which is Hi-Speed 80 grain O.P.E., or hollow-point ammunition, which is for for rifles only. Other than this all commercially manufactured 100-120 grain Lead or Jacketed Soft Point ammunition is usable in either rifles or handguns. It will usually be labeled as rifle ammunition, see 1st paragraph. The 80 gr. O.P.E. ammunition has not been manufactured since the 1950s, or, maybe, the 1960s.

Here are pictures of various .32-20 ammunition. The one that looks like a jacketed round-nose hollow-point is the only one that must not be used in revolvers. All the rest are OK. Is this what you wanted to know?
