I'd use a Brownells 90 degree cutter, with a .38 cal. brass guide in the bore.
A gunsmith would likely do the same, much easier than removing the barrel and the 90 degree cutter will give you a nice square barrel end.
This is the set-up used, but here a 11 degree cutter is being used to re-cut a short/shallow forcing cone.
Put the rod w/ brass spacer into the barrel. then thread on the cutter inside the cylinder opening.
With 3 or 4 cutters (not cheap, around $50 each) and a rod, handle and a few brass guides in various calibers, you can do a lot of jobs yourself.
Here a 45 degree cutter with brass guide was used to chamfer the sharp edge of each chamber for easier loading.
