I'm hoping to save others the cost of a cylinder with my tuition.

I made the same mistake, but caught it after reaming the first of ten chambers to 22 WRM. I went ahead and reamed every other cylinder with the mag reamer so now I have a five shot mag and a five shot LR in the same handgun. It is BANG, bang, BANG, bang... etc, you get the idea. It is fun to watch the puzzlement on fellow shooters on the firing range. I told one guy that I was reloading 22 LR to magnum level and was just comparing my reloads to standard 22 LR. He believed me.
