dents in brass

Post by brokeasajoke »

The addition of 3 kids put my reloading on the back burner for a couple of years when i was just learning basics but any way I am set up to do it again. Pulled out my bag of Win. 204 brass and found a lot of them had small dents in them. Should i load them and blow them out or chunk them? Would those small body dents degrade accuracy?

small dents in the case body shouldn't affect anything. Once you fire them the dents will go away and the brass will be just fine.

Yep, load them and fire them. They'll be just fine.
