Polishing a barrel

Thanks for all the info.
I put it buffing wheels at 100, 200, 400 and 600 grit. I guess I spent about an hour at each. I then buffed it show shine method with some I think about 800, got it from a freind. I think I'm done.
I chambered and crowned it, I fired 5 shots cleaning between each one, and the group was 5/8". I hate to pull the barrel off and blue it now.
It is a 243AI on a Rem 700, Shilen barrel, it has been lapped and tured. HS tactical stock, Kelby rings, 12X Leupold. 85 gr Sierra, Rem Case Fed Match primer, 46 gr of 4350

Now to think of another project.

PS I have for this action a 22-250; 25-08AI; 78-08AI
Thinking of a 260AI or a 6.5-284, but that will be the subject of another post.

Again thanks for the info.
