I can't remember where i read this;
Chlorine gas reacts with nitrates to make chlorite and chlorate and i guess nitrogen oxides or nitrosyl chloride?
Please if you know anything about this reaction tell me cause i searched everywhere
If this works i can turn potassium nitrate to potassium chlorate but i don't know how soluble potassium chlorITE is in water

This doesn't sound likely.
NOCl is formed when nitrITE react with chlorine. Or nitrate with chloride in acidic solution.
Chlorates can be made by electrolysis of chloride, bubbling chlorine gas through hot hydroxide solution or by thermal decomposition of hypochlorite.
Chlorites can be make by passing ClO2 through hydoxide/H2O2 solution. ClO2 is make from acidified chlorate + some reducing agent (HCl, oxalic acid,
methanol etc.).

There are refences that chlorine reacts with sodium nitrate to form sodium chlorite
Maybe this reaction is performed in a certain chlorine double solvent like carbon tetrachloride
