IF THERE ARE ANY BULGES IN THE BRASS, YOU NEED A NEW CHAMBER.

Bottom line. Probably better off with a new barrel. Do not fire the weapon again, the lugs on your bolt could also be shot, might need a new bolt as well. Check for any signs of stress or cracks on your lugs and for any contact marks on the safety lug. At the very minimum,get the gun to a competent smith ASAP.
