I think just shooting it would be the best way, but I have tried to "pretty up" some bore that were beyond shooter grade. I have even tried valve lapping compound on an extra rough one, but it's really a waste of time. Even if you get them nice and shiny inside, you won't see much of a difference when you look through it. It will still be rough, just a shinier rough.
