I don't get the feeling from your smart ass answer that you are convinced it shouldn't be done. Look up the SAMMI specs for 22lr and then look up the specs for one of the cartridges you listed. Check the pressure for one and compare to the other. Check the twist rate for a 22LR and then check the twist rate for a center fire. Many have tried to convert a 22LR to 22 mag and it isn't safe in most cases. What you are proposing is way more pressure.

That reply says it all...
Go for it and report back...You seem like a person with all the answers,why ask questions ?Cool, well, found several links with several people having done it, with several different rifles. And none of them came back to post that they were dead.
Just as well someone once looked out the cave and thought "eh, what's out there..."

It sounds like you intend to forge ahead?
A lot of those first explorers also die, and witty analogies posted on an internet forum will not help you when a plastic surgeon is attempting reconstruction of your cheekbone and eye socket. Or worse, you're in the hands of a trauma team and neuro is coming in on their day off to see what can be done.
Whatever dude.
I've tried to find a post but my google fu is lacking. Several months ago, a member posted or replied to a post wherein he described a test of nothing more than a barrel and a crude firing mechanism with NOTHING to hold back the cartridge. Apparently the force of the explosion expands the case and friction prevents much of the force from being directed rearward. Apparently there is no real force applied to the bolt when a cartridge fires as designed.
I'm not saying I completely accept this premise, but I'm open to it. One thing I've learned in my career as a scientist is that you have to go where the data points regardless of preconceived notions.
If someone has a link to this original post, I'd love to go back over it. It the OP of that post is watching, I'd love to see the data.

MiHi T could you post the links you mentioned before about people that have already done this. I would like to see how they modified the rifle to make this work. After having thought about this a person could take a Remington 40X that came as a 22LR and make it into a centerfire, it would be cheaper to buy a center fire rifle but it could be done.
well here's two sides, pictures attatched of a factory savage sporter in 32/20 it is a single lug configuration so it is same base case as a bee. but why would you if as you say you have to purchase a rifle any how, just to do more work ..
It's not safe , period . I've got better things to do than satisfy some newbies desire to stir the pot of stupidity!!!
Blow yourself up and hopefully no one else gets hurt .
And these even had headspace issues ! I've got a few remaining from many rewelds just trying to get them working for another season . Of course this was back in the 70s when the farmers needed a cheap varmit round / rifle .
OP is nothing but a pot stirrer,don't feed the troll.

only the handle which is used as a lug somewhat is brazed the opposite lug is integral to body...its definitely not a receiver for high pressure but with a 25/20 case its not an issue. that being said I would not Ackley improve or even improve it over standard as original not much of an issue...
I remember seeing that ...

I think you should make a 17cal centerfire from a 177cal air rifle. Daisy preferrably
