There is another totally different reason to polish a chamber. Polished steel is more difficult to rust than rough steel. The higher the polish, the more resistance to rust steel has. Something to think about next time you drag your cold rifle into a warm truck or warm house. AC in the summer works just like cold in the winter. Polish the chamber and swab the bore / chamber with a lightly oiled patch it will save you a lot of grief.
Best,
Ed
