[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 626283, member: 2736"] Polishing a chamber is risky with the chance of more problems. The best thing to do would be to find/buy a SAMME spec. finish reamer and a head space gauge. This will assure you that the neck and the shoulder are right and also open the body. Also the Hornady dies should have worked without grind the shell holder. With the chamber already there hand reaming is possible if you are careful (Don't use a drill because it will cut to much to fast). You can get a hand tool that will drive the reamer through the action once it has been removed from the stock. It would be best if you have a gun smith do it unless you feel ok with it. If so clean the chamber, clean and oil the reamer, and clean every time you remove the reamer to check head space before re inserting the reamer in the chamber. Be carefull and it will turn out ok.
