Abstract

A firearm barrel having a barrel bore in a barrel bore entrance end is arranged to receive a conical milling tool directed to shape the conical entrance into the barrel bore entrance end, with a counter-bore drill followed by a second conical milling tool directing an annular seat at an interface of the counter-bore and the conical bore to receive a load tool cylinder onto the seat for ease of directing a charge into the barrel.
