Should work fine if you keep your loads within the pressure limits of the TC. Contender I presume. J. D. Jones chambers an improved 225 Winchester-he calls it the .226 JDJ- in the Contender but he does not recommend firing factory ammo in it as pressures are to high.

pressure to be kept between 36k and 40k

Was just thinking the same thing for a .223 H&R that I dont like.
Should be a fun project.

A 5.6 x 50 Rimmed can run 52,000 c.u.p. in a contender.
I have a Super 14 6 T/CU rechambered to 6 x 50R improved, it's fast, loud & accurate.

I'm having to much fun with these contender barrels
