I’ve seen this condition in a number of 52’s and discussed this with several old time Master class shooters including Don Nygord. The consensus was (1) is it affecting accuracy or gun performance and (2) does the lead deposit stay there or migrate down the barrel.

I for one gave up on cast wad cutters and shot only swaged dead soft hollow base bullets out of my mid-range guns and never had accuracy issues. Keep in mind that the little bit of free bore between chamber mouth and rifling is space where the expanding bullet base is not controlled. It is therefore possible the obturated or expanded bullet base gets wiped off entering the rifling. Also remember soft lead slow subsonic bullets don’t often created leading problems so it’s unlikely you will end up with a fouled barrel.
