I am thinking the cost is about the same.

I'm thinking cost is not the factor here. Fire-forming brass entails the exactly the same situation you are trying to avoid. You have to stick SAAMI spec ammo in there and pull the trigger. I'd expect 1) less than 100% yield from that process and 2) a possible random catastrophic failure, unless you are using virgin brass. 'Might not hurt the rifle, but then again ... Fire-forming doesn't require full power loads, but they do need to be stout. If I was going to do that, I'd just sight the thing in and go hunting.
Rechambering for $150 is not a bad deal. I wonder if he (the gunsmith) knows what he's in for ... does he have a good reputation? That is the way to go. Fix it.
