With the Wrangler threads we have had lately and the mention of the Single Six and both guns having bores made to shoot the larger diameter 22 mag bullets and people asking "why doesn't Ruger make a barrel for the smaller .22 bullets?" I decided to measure a sampling of 22lr bullets from a small part of my stash.
None of the bullets measured .223. All were .224 and bigger, up to .226. So here are a few pictures of the group measured. And the difference in sizes between brands is why you need to shoot a variety of brands through you gun to see what shoots best.
