I would highly recommend slugging that bore & seeing just what the groove diameter is before investing much in the bullets. If the grooves run a bit oversize it may well be that .32 WS bullets would be a fit without any manipulation. My old 8x58R Sauer which was technically made for the .318" bullet has grooves which measure .321", exactly the size of the .32 WS bullets. These of course only weigh 170 grains rather than the 200 grains (13 gram).
The Rem Corelock bullet is a good bullet & should not prove overly destructive even at the enhanced velocities from the 8x57J over the .32 WS. Should be able to work up a fine deer load for it IF it should prove workable.
