Your rifle has the same issue my new Savage Creed had. In short, the throat is cut at groove diameter, or .0005" under SAAMI minimum for the chamber. I'll bet your barrel was cut with the same under-sized reamer mine was???
Read my thread here for an explanation with photos, and how I fixed the issue.

RMGunner, man what a thread you have over there! Thank you for the information, it is much appreciated. I will forward that thread over to the gunsmith and hope that he can do the exact same thing you did (I see no reason why he couldn't).Originally Posted by RMGunner
You wouldn't still happen to have that little setup for lapping now would you?This is the exact reason why I always wish I had even the smallest amount of machining tools or a small lathe...sooo much I could do myself

I have this same problem with my 6BR... Instead of the hand lapping, would the "Tubbs Final Finish" bore polishing bullets work also?
