Dented brass safe?
« on: January 22, 2010, 01:07:28 PM »
I was reloading 30-30 cases today and got some dented necks on most of the cases I was reloading, i have read usually it is because of too much lube or dies not adjusted properly, my question is, are they safe to shoot and will they affect accuracy? Thanks

Dents in the neck after sizing, are quite likely from too much lube. They are called hydraulic dents. Clean your dies, really well and back off on the lube a bit.  ;)

Yes they are fine to shoot. Its hard to say how much of an effect it will have on accuracy.

agree with above as long as you don't have to pound them in the chamber.
