I dented a couple pieces of brass resizing. I am pretty new to reloading, and have never had this happen with other calibers. Anyways, its 416 rigby brass, norma case. They have an oval dent right below the shoulder. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I don't have a clue. Any help is appreciated, thanks. Mark

It sounds like you used too much case lubricant. Use Redding Die Wax; a little bit goes a long way and you don't have to wipe it off (it does not affect the powder).
Just load and fire the case (if it's a small dent). That will iron out the dent.

Ray's right. The brass will be fine to shoot. What case lube are you using? I have had really good luck using the spray and size from Midway. If need be, the inside case necks can be lubed with mica, but I usually find this unnecessary.

Thanks for all the advice. I am using the lee lubricant right now. This never happened before. I guess I just used to much. Thanks again for the help. Mark.
