You haven't identified the clarinet or told us how long the barrel is. Some clarinet models are designed to use shorter barrels than the 65-67 mm ones that Buffets are designed to use. If you've got a clarinet designed to work with a 60-62 mm barrel, the 5RV Lyre and barrel alone will naturally play sharper than a 66 mm one.
This goes back to the comments that the tuning of the complete instrument is more important than the tuning of the mouthpiece and barrel by themselves.
How long is the barrel?
