  ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!! The .32 Special is basically a .30-30 with a bullet of .321" diameter. The .32-20 is a far smaller cartridge and despite its name, the bullet is .311" . . . and we won't venture further down the road of illogic in cartridge names. I can't imagine how one could possibly make the .32 WCF fire in a .32 WS chamber, but it would be a disaster if it happened - the case would literally explode because there would be no support from the chamber walls and it would be questionable if the bullet would even find the bore.
  
  I suspect some people might call this a dumb question. Elementary, perhaps, but an intelligent question - lots better to find out up front than blunder in.
