Is it normal or ok to have small dents on the cartridge shoulder by the case neck? Can you still reload them with the dents. The cartridge body and case neck all looks good.

Not really normal, but typically OK. These usually occur when you use too much case lube, and it gets stuck on the shoulder against the die. The dents should fire form to the chamber when shot.
