| Bowman, As long as they fit in your chamber, the dents will pop out when you fire them, how are you lubing your cases? Try Hornadys "One Shot" spray lube, stuff works great, Jay |

| Dented cases, like that, are from excessive lubricant. YES!!! They are safe to use. I use Hornady's "UNIQUE GREASE". It is a wax and you haand lube each case. |

| Take and spray some solvent up in your dies every once in a while too so that all the built up stuff gets flushed out.
You probaby have the dent just under the shoulder itself right? That is where I normally get them if I get too much lube or too much built up in the die.
In some sessions where I load a whole lot at one time I will periodically spray solvent into the sizing die and then let it evaporate before going on again.
it just blows out again when you shoot it, no problema.

| Bowman, I used to use the Lee stuff, I too have some brass in my basement that has the shoulder dents, then I tried the Hornady One Shot, and wow is this stuff great, spray a little in the die a minute or two before you start your sizing and spray both sides of the cases,(45 degree angle to get in the mouth), works great, that's all I can say, got to shake it for a minute, though. No biggie, Jay

| Another thing I found that can clean your dies out is Hornadys "One Shot" cleaner and dry Lube, works great on the inside of your remington trigger also, Jay |

| Unless you split the brass or pushed the shoulder back a good bit; Think of it as partial fireforming. They should shoot fine. |

| I use Q-Tips to lightly lube the inside and outside of the case necks. If you're woried about primer contamination you can use another Q-Tip to wipe the lube back out after resizing although I've never had this problem. You don't want to get lube on a case shoulder anyway, merely around the end of the case neck. It's more important on the inside of the neck since the main reason you're using it there is to help the expander ball clear the die. Best wishes.

Cal;
Easier, I just screw the expander ball out of my die and put a little gun oil on it, and put it back in the die. It is a lot easier than lubing the inside necks of 50 cases or so.
Does the same job as lubing each case neck.
