Every pistol I owned clearly shows that the nose of the cartridge doesn't "slide" up the ramp. It hits one small spot pretty hard and then bounces up into the roof of the chamber, breaks over and aligns. Polishing ramp is the last thing I would think of doing if a gun doesn't want to feed. Most people remove too much metal and change the angle. I would look at the finish of the breechface and the extractor hook first. It doesn't need to be "polished bright". Just knock any "speed bumps" off if you can feel them. Most guns have perfectly good feed ramps. All that is needed is the correct angle for the cartridge to strike.
