I don't think that you can rechamber your 32 WS to 32-40. The 32-40 is a tapered cartridge that I think would be too slim for the bottle necked chamber of the 32 WS, unless you cut off part of the chamber, rethreaded and set the barrel back. I have a 336SC in 32 Special and it is a pretty good shoot...
