Small dents in Black Hills 223 brass?

[Burnsie]

I finally got in some Black Hills 223 that I ordered and upon inspecting some of the brass I noticed some small dents in the sides of the brass as well as on the shoulders. Is this normal for the red box version? I wouldn't be concerned if it was only a couple pieces, but it is almost half of a box. My real concern is are these safe to fire, or are they going to blow out on me?

I will post pics ASAP.

If that's the worse thing in the lot, go for it.

The answer to your question is, no that ammo will not blow up, separate, or damage your weapon because of those dents. Look at it this way, those dents will smooth out as soon as you shoot them.

It may not be cosmetically perfect, but I doubt your rifle will notice.

The 223 brass I use has small dents from the brass deflector. Part of the deal when reloading brass from an AR. Hell, you should see the stuff that comes out of a M240.

Red box you say? Call Black Hills, this is unacceptable.

shoot them and watch the dent go away after fireing
