- Ream this cylinder out to .22 mag. I can get a reamer for about a hundred bucks, or try to find one to rent.

(Yes, I did check to see if it was already reamed out. No go on any .22 mag ammo I had.)
Okay, I'm not too embarrassed to ask: If a .22 magnum bore is .224 and a .22 LR bore is .223... and if a .22 magnum round won't drop in... how oversized does oversized have to be to create this sticking problem? We know it has got to be something less than .001" oversized in this case, right?
