I don't know for sure. I can not see it producing anywhere close to the pressure of firing.
With a .22 Cal barrel and 24,000psi (.22lr) you would exert a little over 930lbs of force on the obstruction. That seems like more than enough when a light tap off a brass rod removes the blockages as well. That's assuming you actually get anywhere near a 22lr firing pressure, which I highly doubt.
With the high pressure rounds (22-250) at 65,000psi you would exert just over 2500lbs of pushing force. Proof rounds going another 25+% above that yet.
