Ridge Runner, There are Cadillacs and Buicks and Chevrolets. Different tastes for different drivers. I won't list the names of people who I have talked to unless I specifically get their permission. I know that the man who makes the reamers I use does not advocate polishing unless it is needed to remove a scratch. His reamers leave a very shiny chamber. Your friend does not need to highly pollish the 6.5 Gibbs chamber to get very high velocity. I shoot a 6.5-06 that is very near to the .264. The only problem to the wildcats is that we don't know what our pressures are running.

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
