Thread: safe to reload ?

Dents like that usually happen from full length resizing with too much lube.
Its basically making your load slightly hotter than it should be as the case capacity has been reduced by the volume of the dent.

Personally I would not be too worried in general about shooting it, as its a dent, not a crease which is easier to rupture, but as with @Slug , id use it for a fouler or whatever and expect that it might shoot to a slightly different POI as that load in effect will have a different powder capacity/fill ratio than the others. After its fired off as a fouler or whatever it should be back to normal and can go back into normal rotation.

I also agree with @mimms2 that the base of the cartridge looks a bit suspect. Can almost see two rings around the base..
What is the origin of this brass and how many times has it been fired?
