Back it up, and how bad is the bore/chamber frosted to begin with.
Hence polishing out barrel frost/rusting/pitting will end up with the rifling being polished down at well. So the way to look at it, a frosted barrel may collect fouling at a faster rate, but since there is some rifling still intact, it will group semi decent for a lower amount of rounds before the barrel fouls out. Over Polishing out the rifle on the other hand, may solve the quicker fouling problem, but without enough rifling engagement since that has been polished out as well, the barrel is not going to group worth a dam to instead. |

It's in pretty decent condition. It has minor pitting, I just want to clean it up some. More of a make it nicer kind of thing. When I'm on my game it shoots nice, but its one of those... Maybe it can shoot better things.

As linked to above, Brownell's JB Bore Paste will thoroughly clean and lightly polish the bore.
They also sell JB Bore Bright, which is a slightly finer type that will bring up whatever shine the bore is capable of. JB was first used by the Bench Rest shooter crowd to get a bore absolutely clean as possible without harming it. It's easy to use, all you need is a good one-piece cleaning rod, either polished stainless steel or carbon fiber and some good cotton flannel patches. Kroil is not a necessity, but will speed up cleaning of fouling. Dewey is sort of the "standard" in rods. Don't use a screw-together rod or aluminum or brass rods. This is probably the safest way to clean and shine up a fouled or frosty bore with no risk of harming it. Be aware that "removing" frost or light pitting from a gun barrel requires removing metal. Enough metal that any accuracy is going to be gone for good. The fire lapping kits can be good in some cases, but I've seen a few good barrels ruined by improper use trying to get a bore to shine. |

Perfect, thank you. I'll be going this route |

If you look at the Brownell's page on JB Bore Paste I think that have a video link that shows how to use it.
