Is it all fired from your rifle? Something like that to me indicates a flaw in the chamber, a small area unsupported that allows the brass to expand

Check your chamber for a random hole. Could be an air bubble in the metal from when the barrel was made
No, it's not normal.
If you FL size it, it should iron that bump right out. You might be SOL for neck sizing tho.
Bolt action is not going to be too picky, if you reload it, and the rounds chamber smoothly and completely then you should be good to go.
You can safely fire brass with worse flaws then that, however the brass might wear out faster.
This flaw would suggest that if you're going for precision and accuracy you might not get it out of that gun.
If it's just for hunting and plinking, it's not going to matter much.
But indeed, that is not normal, you may need to consider a warranty claim on this rifle, because despite the fact that you can safely reuse that brass, a compromised chamber might not be safe in the long run.

neck sizing is normally done after the brass has been fired in the same gun. Then only used for that particular gun. Neck sized to allow a tight fit for the next bullet. Full length sizing is normally done before you load it the first time, when you buy from any vendor. The new brass may not all be the same diameter and many times the necks need attention as they may be out of round from packaging.

Umm :/ that would have to be one deep hole as it would need to go threw the action and threw the barrrel :/ and actions from factory are drilled befor the barrel goes on

Take it back. Hopefully you have only used factory loads..warranties often won't get honored when you've used reloads.
Yeah, see, that brass, now fire formed, if perfectly fitted/headspaced to your chamber.
The problem is, 223 headspaces to the shoulder where that bump is, and that bump will virtually tightens the headspace of the brass.
You'd probably fine for a few firings, but the formation of more bumps would cause worse headspace problems in the long run.
It's a moot point anyway, cause I doubt you paid your hard earned cash for a flawed chamber.
Not sure who WWS is, but if they are worth their salt, they should be more then happy to take care of this for you.
I just bought a shotgun from Whole Sale Sports with a cracked foregrip. They have a very clear policy on guns, once you shoot it they won't touch it. You will need to go to the manufacturer for it. Or as my case turns out, some f***ing company in Quebec that deals with Remington warranty issue for Canada because Remington won't touch their guns once they leave the country.
Not bitter at all :/

I took my gun back to wholesale sports today and they were very good about it. They are giving me a brand new one they didn't have one in stock so they are getting one sent from one of there other stores. I will have it next week.
I am so happy i don't have to wait for warranty work to be done.

I got my new gun from wholesale sports awhile back and final got to shoot it and this time i got a little dent in the brass.
I cleaned the chamber with a copper brush and it didn't help.
What is wrong with savage quality control?

If you have a pimple on the brass you have a pit in the chamber.
If you have a dimple on the brass you have something stuck inside the chamber.
A metal chip might have been embedded in the chamber when the rifle was high pressure proof tested.
A chip should be able to be removed with out damaging the chamber by chamber brushing.
