[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1103170, member: 2736"] Dented cases are not unusual because of the mass production, tumbling and polishing process. I normally full length size all new brass then trim until they are all the same length, I also take this time to turn the necks if necessary and prep the flash hole. after all prep is done I then weight all cases and sort by 1 grain lots. I will normally have 0 to 1 rejects with Lapua brass. 3 to 5 with Remington (Unless things have changed) 8 or more with Winchester or federal. Other brands are not predictable so I do what I can if I have to buy them. By prepping the brass before you load it you will have better luck and less chance of not being able to chamber. It also makes you fire formed brass more consistent. I used to use a lot of DWM brass because it was tough but cant get it anymore. Just an opinion based on my experiences with new brass.
