I ejected a live round from my DPMS LR308 yesterday and noticed a light "strike " on the primer. Loaded another round and ejected it and it had the same "strike" mark on the primer. Is this normal? Is it safe to rechamber these rounds ?

Pretty common in floating firing pin weapons. Some primers are hard enough you don't see a dent, some get the light strike like you see.
What brand was the ammo?
But yes, the ammo is probably still safe to shoot but you probably want to change brands.
