I have a 32 colt new pocket that I would like to have converted to 32 s&w iong. Does anyone know any thing about this?

The Colt round O.D. is a bit smaller than the S&W round, as you've undoubtedly noticed, (.318" base as against .335".) But machining out the chambers is an expensive option, and will weaken an already none-too-strong cylinder. Better to make up .32 Colt brass by swaging and trimming .32 S&W Long, which is easily done, and using the proper 299153 heeled boolit.
There's been a guy selling those boolits on Gunbroker for a while now. Good quality. I've bought quite a few for my .32 Colt "Bay State" rifle.

He'll also make brass for you if you're not able to swage your own.
