In my opinion they are safe to reload. Between belling and crimping you probably wont even see those marks when all is said and done.

I, too, would reload those. I would size them, chamfer the inside and outside of the case mouth, then flare them, and I will bet they will be fine.

Agree with Damon555 and ScratchnDent.
Size and bell the cases few times until the damage is gone or minimal.

I really don't see any damage to speak of...............
You should see them come out of my MINI 14 & some of my 45ACP's---then you could see some damage.........................

I'll bet you're shooting some flavor of Rossi. My Puma(Rossi) does the same thing with .44mag. I just ignore and reload as usual.

Load'em...Shoot'em...Load'em again. In the mean time see if you can determine what is causing that and correct it...

I'm wondering, if a little more roll in their crimps would keep this from happening. Also, check to see if there is a burr in the chamber mouth. But I'd sure reload those empties.

Agreed with everyone else. Resizing ought to fix most of this. Chamfering will do the rest.

The cases are clipping the edge of the ejection port when ejected. Instead of ejecting straight up, ejection is at a bit of an angle. See the tip of the red arrow in the pic. That is where the contact is occurring. You can get an ejection spring which is much better, not as stiff from Steve Young, aka Nate Kiowa Jones, at stevesgunz.com. This is all assuming your gun is made by Rossi.
