Why not 'roll' it??? You use a tool that looks like a 2" pipe cutter, but has 3 rollers (& no cutting wheel!). Put a squib rod in the barrel, run the rollers down, and twirl it until it's down to correct diameter. It does leave roll marks, but if you were planning on re-bluing anyway, it's not a concern...
