I have found myself a disarmed rifle cartridge and decided to reload the primer and powder (for now 50 grains of matchheads for a cartridge designed for 40 grains, and I inversed the bullet as to blunt the impact and maximize jawing). I now need to build a primitive single use firing assembly. I have got copper piping downstairs and afaik there was one with the right diameter, so there is the barrel. However, I am not sure as to how I should make a chamber that can withstand the pressure of the overloaded round. I was thinking molding it in concrete or something with the copper barrel in it, so that I could simply stand over it with my mouth and detonate the primer from underneath. But anyways, the question I was going to ask is: should the chamber fail from overpressure, would I still die from the projectile or would the energy loss be too great?

I live in a regulated country and most other options feel risky. I want it to be over with in an instant. Edit: also I could get the appropriate permissions etc since I attained legal age to do so, but it's an annoying and long winded path.
