I think it is wrong to just assume a bullet diameter of .224 at that stage of the game.  Only a couple of years later, the 6 mm Lee Navy was called a .236, but we know the bullets ran .243 or .244.

The early Krag Gallery Practice Rifle I played with had a groove diameter of .226.  The Savage .22 High Power was .228.

Some of the early cartridge collector books tell us about the diameter of experimental smallbore cartridges.
