32 Long and 38 and 44 Specials all enjoy good accuracy reputations. It may be a case of getting the cart before the horse, though. All three have had good quality target shooting guns made for their chamberings, which can't possibly hurt the perception. All three have velocities low enough and twist rates slow enough that they don't over-spin cast bullets, making them less susceptible to in-flight wobble due to mass asymmetry caused by inclusions, and that helps the home caster look good. Their low pressures help when it comes to shooting the soft swaged bullets commonly made in large volume.
