And would I need a .10 patch or .15 with .310 round balls.
The 1.5 buck shot will work fine in your .32. It is a little harder than pure lead, but works fine. As for patch material, you gun will decide what it likes best. Start off with .015 to see how it loads and shoots, then work up or down from there to determine what is best.
