I've never chambered a 5R barrel. In theory I understand the challenges of chambering them (in short, chatter)
Gordy Gritters recommends pre-boring the lands in the neck area.
In a .300 bore barrel the tools needed to do this seem pretty easy. Just use my 6mm indexable carbide boring bar.
What about small bores like 22 and 6mm? I have an Accupro carbide boring bar that's tiny, and can fit in a .200 bore - but can only reach 1.3" - Not enough to reach the neck of a 223 or 6GT.
Do I forgo the pre-boring of the lands and manage chatter with wax paper / patches? Is there a longer boring bar that I can't find?
