For my Contender. Just wondering if one could be rechambered to something a little more potent?

25 caliber.
I made BEE brass from 32-20. It takes many passes and there

Is some loss getting the procedure down.
Anneal the brass first. Then I might suggest adjusting the expander ball higher (in the neck) to help the brass turn the corner and support the neck as it gets formed. I learned that making 256 GNR brass. It too, was a two step neckng process. Don’t skimp on the lube!
That can be tricky. The SAAMI specs on the 218 Bee and...

25-20 are smaller at the base than the 32-20. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

I wonder if anyone (surely they have) used up about half of it for another couple grains. The BEE brass can really get pricey and hard to find.
Making Mashburn can you just start with a .32-20 case or will it fold up? I think someone on here was starting with .25-20?
The .224 GNR would be pretty formidable from the pistol!
