[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1111257, member: 2736"] +1 Set it back and cut a new chamber (With a different reamer and smith). I don't recommend polishing any chamber because if it is cut with a Good Reamer and by a competent Gunsmith It does not need polishing. This chamber looks like it was chattering from an undersized pilot or an improper spindle speed (Or both). As Hired Gun said, Polishing a chamber will only degrade the chamber size and accuracy. It can also cause extraction problems. A honed look is the proper finish in a chamber and offers some grip on the case during firing, lowering bolt loading but does not impede extraction.
