Piloted center drills?
Not sure exactly what you are looking for as the tool suppliers have several types of tools that sort of fall in this catagory.
Knowing the size you want would help.
Check out at McMaster Carr or MSC for quick identification and you might have a local reseller in your neighborhood.
Good luck.

What in the world is wrong with setting the compound to 30 ( if that's the way your lathe is set up), Dial indicator in the bore, adjust to as close to zero as you can get, and cut the center from the inside out? Can't get better than this.

^^^^^^
Works only if you’re able to put the barrel through the headstock & dial it in. I’m not arguing there may be different or better ways of doing barrel work. My machine does have enough room to do it in the headstock. I prefer working between centers.
I’ll admit it’s been 35-40 years since I built & shot competition BR rifles. However, I was successful & competitive throughout the North Central region as well as at several Super Shoots & National events. I’m not looking to get back into competition again, just going to build a couple Varmint rifles for the Grandkids.
