Have you thought about casting the chamber with "cerosafe"? I purchased it from midwayusa to cast a t/c 357max barrel but a old off the barrel before using it. Once cast you can give the dimensions to ch for comparison.

Reeder has designed a line of Raptor cartridges utilizing the resurgence of 'longer' 204 Ruger brass.
I have been lucky enough to snag a 30 Raptor barrel for my contender.
Not a TCU but close
