I shot them through my SAR-1 and they all came out with these little indents in them. Are they still ok to reload after being sized, etc?

    Dents in the body area aren't a problem. Dents in the neck or shoulder could be a problem.

    Load them up!

    I personally do NOT reload any case that has any type of defect. Others may say go ahead, I just dont. The case has been weakened in that area. IMO. I'll be interested to hear the responses too.

    Tiny body dents like those shown in your photos are nothing to worry about. I wouldn't be afraid to reload them.

    As long as the dent is below the neck I will reload them. I'd say go for it.

    I have to ask does that occur when you load your clips,is that where you put your new round in. I have seen that on Pistol cart and it was where you pushed down with the next shell????????????????????? the rim of the new shell on the loaded one.

    I don't think it does, I used stripper clips and a speed loader for all of them. I think it is when they are getting ejected.

    Good to see this. My AR-15 did this to the shells I shot. I wasn't sure if I could reload them.

    I would reload those. When I reload dented cases I do not load to the max loading due to slightly less volume in the case which would slightly increase pressure.

    If you have ever fire formed brass for another chamber you will realize this small dent is no problem at all.

    My guess is when your AK ejects the shell it is hitting your bolt handle as it is ejected and forming the small dent.
