It should be possible although the example given would be a tough one to produce..

Possible but the catch comes in you'd need a specific necker/throater reamer for each caliber.  Better in my experience to just pop for the reamer you need.

Best way is to call 4-d Reamer Rental and just rent the tool you need..

Most reamer makers won't make you a floating pilot reamer in 17 cal, they are too fragile. Besides, by the time you bought all the neck/throaters you would need you'd be much better off buying the right reamers.
