shryke300 3 Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Hi, i cant get to a camera right now, but I have some 180grn remington .303 british. I just noticed that one of the cartridges has a small dent in it, just before it necks. It is about 1/8in. Is this safe to shoot? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobRez 1,895 Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Aw heck, I've shot ammo with worse dents! Of course I have a few dents in my head. It should be fine. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nope, not safe to shoot at all and don't listen to all of the others that posted. Promptly send the dented ammo to me for proper diposal 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vultite 57 Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 should be okay as long as it seats fine in the chamber and your bullet isn't turned way off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Photoguy 202 Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Would you drive a car with a dent in its hood? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sparky63 46 Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 its fine ammo if you have a shell casing extractor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fumes 84 Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 I had a 223 jam the other day in my AR, dented just like that, I chucked it without even thinking about it. Why? 30 cents compared to a broken shell extraction or worse. Not that the latter is a giant concern but it's 30 cents that could turn into a bigger problem. Ever spend more money trying to save a small amount? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
