Odd Crimp on Range Brass

Is this anything to worry about reloading?

This is the way the company that made the brass added an extra layer of protection against bullet setback. This is basically an internal cannalure. It may iron out in a few reloads or it may not depending on the hardness of the brass. It is nothing to worry about and load as normal. There are a lot of rimmed pistol rounds (38 SPL, 357, 45 Colt, etc) that are made this way. It never has caused any problems with my reloading them to date.

Thanks! Figured it would be ok, but wanted to check.
