dented cases after resizing?

[ko1featherweigh]

I've been resizing once fired rem .223 cases and some of the cases are coming out with dents, its only a few out of the many.Whats causing the dents? I'm resizing with a Dillon die if that helps. Would you say these are still OK to reload?

what lube are you using? Sometimes too much lube will dent the shoulder..We can;t see the pics... but if the dents aren't too bad they cases can be used....

Too much case lube.

Too much lube as the others have said, or the little hole in the side of the
sizing die is plugged with lube.

If the dents are on the shoulder (most common location); then specifically, too much lube on your neck lubing brush. The lube is getting onto the outside of the case mouth, flowing down the neck as you size and creating air pockets on the shoulder. In such cases, the air release hole doesn't help because the excess lube traps the air, preventing its escape to the hole. Wiping the case mouth with your fingers as you put the case into the shell holder will usually prevent these dents.

Pull the decapping pin out of the top of the die and then take a cutip and clean the excess lube out of your die also.
