Yes, averaging the sides will be a decent estimate. If I remember correctly, you're trying to print with PP, so you'll have a fair bit of other things to calibrate too.

Also, do I average the sides to set the extrusion rates?

It depends on how tolerant your hotend is. SD hotend will definitely not handle 2.2mm filament. Really probably no 1.75mm hotend will.

I have a 1.75 mm SD.  Has anyone ever successfully used an oval filament?
