I like to use cratex rubber bits to polish up feedramps on barrels, in a dremel type tool. They can impart a mirror like shine and if you use the finer grit versions they will not remove alot of material like using some sort of grinder would. They don't really change the contours but remove rough spots and seem to help reducing hangups on those rough spots. You don't want to remove alot of material or enlarge the ramp or something, unless you are a pro. at it. I don't claim to be a pro and do not try to recontour the ramps but shining them up and smoothing a little does not hurt.
