Browning X Bolt chamber question

I've noticed the X Bolts mention being hand chambered in their specs. Is that a desirable feature or just sales hype? Thanks! :)
 
I guess it depends on who does the hand chambering, but chambering a barrel by hand is not generally considered a good thing. Sales puffery.
 
Some how I was afraid that might be the case so, I guess I'll see how my reloading goes. No obvious signs of any problems or anything at this time, just wanted to get some opinions on the subject since I bought one. Thanks Folks! :)
 
If you ever watch a good gunsmith set up and cut a chamber with a lathe it is a very hands on thing it's something you just don't set the lathe up and walk away from.

I would assume that's what they mean but they don't explain it right.
