Greetings, I would not rechamber, just size your cases to fit the chamber. Should not make any significant difference to your loads. The first thing would be to measure the barrel twist to see what projectiles should shoot in it. It may be a slow twist which would limit you to the lighter projectiles. Please get someone to mentor you with your load development. There is data out there but how safe it is is anybody's guess.
Regards Grandpamac.

Just curios here, if you don't mind my asking.
Is there such a qualification under NZQA?

I just had a quick look, in NZ there is a voluntary gunsmith register:

You just need to be a Kiwi with a firearms license for that though.
Overseas people in NZ would need a NRA qualification in gunsmithing or similar.

I have been lazy and not researched it myself, is any such thing up and running in NZ?

don t know how it works in NZ in canada we would have to have a machinist ticket to apply to a gun smithing school
