Shoot or Toss Brass

[ndayton]

So I made a rookie mistake and over lubed my brass which caused denting in the case shoulders of several pieces.
My question is can I shoot it still and "form out" the dent or have I compromised the brass to where its not safe and should just toss it.
Thanks

Shoot it. That's nothing compared to some of the fire-forming that gets done with many wildcats.

What @BBob said, just shoot em again.

Good to know I will carry on as usual but with much less case lube.

No issues, shoot it. What lube you using?

Dents happen, just shoot a low powder charge next firing and resize again right as rain

Use less lube on your shoulders. A little goes a long way.

OneShot lube went to town thinking more was better guess not.

I had the same issues using One Shot. Too much was definitely not a good thing with it lol. I use Imperial now. Better product, takes very little, super slick.

Actually, I found that you don't have to lubricate the shoulder at all. I usually spread a thin coat of sizing lube with my fingers on the body up to the shoulder, then a little bit on the neck, spinning the case in my fingers to evenly distribute it. I try not to get any on the shoulder. Even a small amount can result in dents.
I use Imperial sizing wax, or Lee resizing lube. For just everyday resizing, I like the Lee better. If I am using the Larry Willis die, the Imperial sizing wax works best (for me anyway).

edited to add: Yes you can shoot those will little ill effect. (Sorry forgot to an answer in the initial response).

Ya. Kind of like other says. I put a little imperial on lower half of case and I have a container of ceramic balls with mica powder to dip necks in. Works great. Avoids dents in shoulder but the debts will form out without any issue
