Rim Thickness = .043"
Water Capacity = ~3.91 grains H2O
Bullet Diameter = .223" or .224"
Primer size (diameter) = .175" (small Pistol, or Rifle, size)
Chamber Dimensions:

Length from base datum = .635"
Rim Rebate Diameter = .309"
Rim Rebate Depth (from Base Datum) = .042"
.22 LB Repeater Dimensions:
(differences from .22LB)
Rim Diameter = .278"
Extractor Clearance Cut Diameter = .228"
You have swaged .25ACP cases down using swaging dies of .263" and .246" diameters.
Is my summary correct?
