There is a center fire and a rim fire.
No.
Do an internet search for a start.
The difference is explained in the name. A rim fire rifle uses ammunition where the hammer strikes the rim of the bullet. In a center fire rifle, the hammer hits the the center of the bullet. Rim fire ammunition is usually small, like a .22, and center fire ammo is generally larger.
Position of the primer- on the rim or rear center of cartridge case. In general, rimfire ammo is less powerful and cannot be reloaded.
No, buy .50 Action Express, much more stopping power.
32/22 cal rim fire short rifle history and value
Midwayusa.com ******** .30 cal rim fire (not .32, but .30 cal) has been out of production since 1917, and it is purely a collectors item. It may be possible to find a few rounds for display with an old revolver or rifle, but none of the ammo is likely to be in condition to shoot, and sells for several dollars per cartridge. You can check on line auction sites such as auctionarms.com for collectable ammunition. Ammunition must be shipped by UPS GROUND, and shipping will cost about $12 for a few cartridges.

Stevens 30 caliber rim fire is not a true 30 caliber. Chamber is .296. Bore .270 t0 .277. I found a 30 caliber rim fire round, at a gun show. It did not measure out to a 30 cal. Shot shooter
Depends on originality and condition. From $400 to well over $1000.
