i was full length resizing .223 brass,and noticed some had dents in them,some were kinda small,and some were very noticeable,will this hurt accuracy or can i go ahead and use them?

where are the dents? Too much lube on the shoulder can cause dents there. If the dents are in the body I'd check my dies for foriegn particles.

If you are gathering used brass or shooting an auto you may find small dents from a brass defector on the firearm. They will usually pop back out next firing . If it is plinking ammo should be no problem. I wouldn't be afraid to use it hunting either.
