question about once fired brass

[plant.one]

this is a peice of brass that came out of my lr308 - came with the gun, i've not fired it.

anyone seen one do this before? does the brass look smoked or should it do ok once i run it though the dies?

i pulled 20 randoms out of the tumbler and they all had similar markings. Its federal gold medal brass if it matters.

Don't worry about it, My AR 308 does the same thing and makes it easy to count the firings on the brass ha!

Sizingdie should fix it right up but I'd be curious as to what the cause is.

The cause of such dings is usually from hitting the forward edge of the ejection port on its way out.
