rechamber 22 lr to 22 wmr

I have seen a remington 510 rechambered to 22 wmr, and a sears single shot
also rechambered. I thought the grove diameter on the 22 wmr was larger.
Is this a safe practice? How well would this shoot if the grove diameter is to small?
Thanks.

NO
JUST TO NOTE; THE GROVE DIA. DIFFERENCE IS ONLY .002" AND BOTH CARTRIDGES ARE RELATIVELY LOW PRESSURE. WHILE IT ISN'T THE BEST PRACTICE IT MAY WORK.
You would have to rework the bolt, open up the face and alter extractors. Also you would more than likely have to lengthen the port to be able to get the Cartage in and have room for the case to be ejected.
