Savage bolt action? If you get lucky and it does not move the shoulder much then you could just readjust headspace with the barrel nut (after any reaming you want to check headspace regardless). Loosen nut, adjust headspace, tighten nut (easier said than done). If not lucky then you'd have to have someone turn the end of the barrel.

Anyway, I need to clean up the end of the chamber. It looks like the reamer wobbled and the chamber is wider at the end follewd by a very rough spot.
An empty cartridge wont eject without a rubber mallet.
Although you don't say which end of the chamber is wider, I am assuming you mean the aft (breech) end. If so, in theory you could shorten the chamber to remove the defect, then ream deeper to regain your chamber dimension. Doing this without a lathe would be a challenge, but not impossible IMOP.
But if the defect is near the shoulder end of the chamber, I think it's probably best to plant it in the garden and call it a bad investment.
Banning a gun will not solve what is a mental health crisis inflamed by incendiary rhetoric on social and television media. The first amendment in this case is less precious and more likely the causal factor than the second amendment.
