I have no idea if these dimensions are typical because that 25-06 is the only Handi I have. The dimension were made by slugging the bore and making a CERO Safe cast for the throat and shoulder.
What is suspicious that every thing is oversize, barrel, throat and chamber as if done on purpose, even the shoulder is .003" bigger than spec. and so is the neck.

I have no intention of sending the rifle back to the US life is too short for that exercise. Some day I find a 25 barrel and and have my Gun smith turn it into a 25 Hunter or a 257 Roberts. In the meen time I shoot it as is with reduced loads which shoot quite well.
No I am not into cast bullets, I like to spend my time shooting accurate BR rifles. Besides I have a super accurate Ruger#1 in 25-06, that rifle even with quite a bit of throat erosion still shoots under 1/2" at 100 meters with max loads. Notwithstanding the negativity I like the way the Handi rifle handles and operates with that 24oz trigger. Fred M.
