Dings in the Federal 308 Brass Casings
Was told these are once fired but most all have these small dings/dents on the sides. Are these from cycling in a certain firearm and will they interfere with someone wanting these to reload? Thanks!!

I dont know the correct term but those cases appear to have been caught during ejection...simular to a "stove pipe" in a handgun...could be totaly wrong...those dents do look deep though 0 -
Every Fedreal case I get goes in the scrap bucket. All recent mfg cases have loose primer pockets. 0 -
The next time you smack that case with 50,000 PSI those dents will iron right out. There is nothing to worry about because of the dent. 0 -
That will be a weak spot in the case. But you will most likely split the neck, wear out the primer pocket, or lose the case due to head seperation first. 0 -
That's what we thought. Thanks again for the info. 0 -
wallyent,
Those are 'ejection dings'. No big deal. Reload and shoot.

When I was shooting an H&K-91 I would reload all cases that didn't have a split or other similar defect. The H&K fluted chamber lines and ejection dent are pretty significant, but I never had a problem using Federal, military, W-W and PMC brass. The chamber pressures will straighten the case wall and match it to the chamber of your rifle. Be sure to do the needed case inspections. 0 -

Ok lets see if I can keep from messing up Sandwarriors post this time[:I]
Those are ejection port dings from a semi-auto. I would say something like an HK clone without the delayed roller blowback that REALLY rips a case out of the chamber and flings it a long ways.0
