Start with him cleaning it up first would be my suggestion....it's not going to clean itself up!

Agreed. I spoke with him and he was very agreeable to cleaning it up. Seems like a good guy!
So far ......best of luck!
A smooth surface chamber is not ideal, I'l stick with too much pressure.

Please indicate on the case head where you see pressure signs
Had the same problem with a 6 creedmoor and lines in the brass so I cut a wooden rod and polished the bore with 1000 grit and wd 40 and solved the problem the bolt lift said over pressure but no signs on the brass on are on the right track I will bet you 10 primers

Ya, that's no good, I wouldn't cut another chamber with that reamer. Looks like the chamber flush didn't clear chips on one of the passes and it built up from there. I would not polish that kinda mess out cause you'll have a fatter chamber than you already do. I'd set that back the distance of the neck at least or more so the chamber was fresh cause it's all bad, you can not just set back one turn and fix that right. I probably would have replaced the barrel!!

It seems that you folks on this thread know a thing or two about a rough chamber.
The OP also seems to have his query/problem in the right direction.
So.....not to hijack (but I guess I am, sorry OP) what say all of you to my thoughts that I would also take a short cleaning rod w/ a .410 cotton swab on it soaked w/ flitz to remove a rust spot on my stainless Tikka chamber? Any pitfalls here? Recommendations?
Thanks in advance.

Are you sure it's a rust spot and not some gummed up solvent or oil? I'd try some brake clean or some alcohol on the swab first before I went to abrasives.

No ejector mark, no swipe, rounded primer edges, rounded firing pin impact edges, no crater......
Terrible rings around the shoulder, obvious scratches in the chamber imprinted on the brass.
It's not pressure......once the smith fixes the chamber up right (hopeful for the op....) then that load will eject fine and without bolt lift. I'll up the stakes......20 primers!!!!! GM215M's too.....ha ha.
Looks like a Savage I had come into the shop not long ago- though not quite as ugly.
As already stated, it needs to go back to whomever chambered it for it to be set back and re-chambered.
Assuming the barrel is engraved, it'll need to be set back a full thread so that it clocks the same as originally.

That looks like someone was a little too zealous removing a stuck case.
