Case Dents - safe to shoot?

[leftyk82]

Here's the scenario. I found four cases that had dents in different places. These cases were recently cleaned with stainless media (first time for these cases) and have been fired three times. Case dent on the far left is harder to see, it's on the shoulder and larger in diameter than the other dents.

Cases are Hornady, cartridge is 6.5CM.

Will these just blow out when fired or should I toss them in the trash? If safe to shoot, is this just a byproduct of stainless media peening?

Those are fine, after you shoot them they should blow out

Those are not a problem. I've shot far worse.

shoot them and move on. they won't cause you any trouble. the 60k psi will sort them out just fine.

If they fit in the chamber, they will be fine.

Little smooth dimples are fine, 55k psi will push them right out.
A sharp corner can cause issues.

Roll up a piece of paper and it will roll right back out smoothly. But if you fold it and crease it and it will be prone to tearing along that fold.
