Looking for thoughts on how to remedy this problem. I thought (hoped) it would go away on its own, and that has not happened. Every piece of brass comes out scratched up, sometimes the scratch is deep enough that I would consider it a gouge as you can catch your nail on it. I picked up a borescope to see what was going on and there's some pretty decent gouges in the chamber.

What is the best way to get this chamber cleaned up? Am I good to keep using the brass with gouges, keeping an eye on them of course? Does this have an impact on accuracy?

Take a fired case, resize it and make it a little smaller. Drill out primer and then thread it. Put a bolt in the threaded hole. Chuck up in a drill. Put very fine lapping compound on the case. Then insert and spin. Do small amounts. Clean very, very well when done.
