Be afraid, BE VERY AFRAID!!!

Just kidding! Size them, load them, shoot them, proceed with your now non-dented brass.

I used to reload for a mini 30 I had, talk about some mangled brass! Those actions are rough on the poor stuff. I’d just size, load and shoot. Low and behold, the old dents were pushed out but brand new ones would appear in new places. Never had a failure.

Happy shooting
