The nominal diameter of 32 ACP is .3125 which is a hair larger than the .311 for .303, but to my knowledge it is not an issue. I think one can do the same with a 7.62x51 Ishapore Enfield as well (with the correct chamber adaptor, obviously)
.303 is .311 diameter |

Or it will, but single shot only? |

Won't run a semi-auto, but you can feed from a magazine. .327 Magnum could be fun. |

Not sure but I think the early '303's had a different bore diameter than the later ones.
