I remember hearing about slaughter houses using 25-20 and 32-20 before they swapped to the bolt guns.
I shot a few deer with 25-20 and they didn't know the difference.

In school we had a class on reloading, the instructor always used 'and the angles sing ' as his motto when unsafe practices showed up.

Looking at your picture, it appears the divot is machined into the frame BUT it is distorted and bigger with the new damage from the broken pawl.
I almost think you should contact Ruger and say you want a new frame to replace your damaged one. Who know this might be a first of this failure for them.
