Since the SAAMI drawings are in nearly every reloading manual extant, writing the gcode s/b easy enough. Just don't do it in alu, use brass or steel since alu is way to damned abrasive to cycle thru a weapon w/o potential wear damage in the weapon. Same reasoning for never, ever buying an alu cleaning rod, which will bellmouth the muzzle and the accuracy will go away in due time.
