Case dents: How much is too much?

[gamestalker]

Warning! If you have any dented brass, package it up and send it directly to me for safe disposal, don't take chances!

My 1911 dents almost every case, I have not had any problems re-loading them.

Remember, the .45 is a very low pressure round and I wouldn't worry about any of the dents in the pic. Load 'em up and shoot 'em.

FWIW--I use one of those freeby paint can openers to take away most of the deeper case mouth dents. Just stick the business end into the bottom of the case and pry out the dent with the shaft. The sizing die does the rest.
