New barrel on a blued younger 86 action (1920s).  Action smooth but bullet gets hung up on insertion in the chamber.  After chambering dummy rounds multiple times brass starting to build up on the barrel chamber mouth on the bottom of the barrel, between the recessed bolt areas.  Would it be safe to stone that area down to allow feeding easier?

First post a picture of the area in question on the gun and a pic of the bullets.
