Thanks! I might work up the courage to order a reamer and try. Since they shell casings are the same size, I assume that I can order a .22LR reamer?

Literally all you need is the right reamer, a can of cutting oil, and a good screwdriver to remove/reinstall the yoke retention screw. Maybe a rag and some carb or brake cleaner to clean up the cylinder after you're done.

The reaming only removes tiny little shavings of metal from inside the chambers. I did all 9 chambers on a High Standard W101 and the shavings from all 9 chambers combined wouldn't have been enough metal to make a small paper clip. Literally just a few grains worth of metal.
