When I was there machine shop class I decided to make a 22 mag out of a 22 long rifle. We could take our gun to school then. Knowing nothing about chamber reamers I selected a drill slightly larger than the brass case and ran it in far enough that the 22 mag round would go in. The barrel was bent so I thought I had nothing to lose, wrong. I waited until I got home loaded up a round, pulled the trigger and the rifle jumped out of my hand in three pieces. I wasn’t hurt but that ended my gun smithing for at least 10 years.
Some of the kids graduated with honors not me I graduated with luck.
