CK,
Not sure I am following correctly. You sent your Thomas barrel out for a recrown and polish?

With all Mike's excellent barrel testing / work and the testimony of numerous victories, I don't see how his barrel work could be improved.

Well I sent the barrel off to Lother Walther - woody did a video inspection and found a tooling mark inside the barrel near the breech end -
it was his determination that this was the cause of the extreme fouling and lead flakes causing flyers -
this particular barrel has been a problem since day one -
and now that about a 1/2" of the breech end has been lopped off and the barrel recrowned -the problems seem to have been solved -
i have no interset in saying anything good or bad about the rifles creator on this forum
it is what it is though
the fouling had gotten so bad -it rendered the barrel useless -
also have another that's on its way to Jim -same lead shards on the cleaning patches
regards

CK, I assume you actually made your measurements with the plug perpendicular to the caliper jaws, and with the thicker part of the jaws??? If you measured the way the photo(s) shows there is too much chance of error in alignment.
If your measurements are indeed correct then I would say the 0.2120" is not acceptable but the 0.2235" is probably fine. Can anyone really see a difference of 0.0005" with their eyes?

Mr Nitsch plug appears to be -(if you remove the 2 extra digits) - .22 shank and .18 plug ?
THE CHAMPIONS CHOICE APEARS TO BE .22 SHANK AND .18 PLUG AS WELL? No?

the black Champion plug looks like it has an insertion plug the correct size
But the visual flange is wrong it should be .224 for us benchrest shooters
the champion plug with the magnifier has too large of insertion plug which makes the hole too big for certification
but the visual flange looks to be the correct size
they need to combine the correctness of the two
