lube dents

[SilverEagle]

I loaded 200 rounds of 223 remington for my varmit rifle, and latter noticed some lube dents....how will these dents affect accuracy?
my rifle is a stock Ruger M77 MkII, and I shoot out to about 300 yards...

Thanks for your time

I very much doubt that you will see any change in the accuracy of the ammunition. If firing the cartridges does not iron out the dents then try reloading them with a powder that creates the highest pressure. Use a load about 3/4's of the way from starting load to the maximum. I've had that work with my cases.

Ease up on the die wax, especially on the shoulder and the problem will go away.
They will blow out after fired, but it will take up some of the energy doing it....

In my case it was dents incurred while forming the case from Remington URBR cases,.308 BR) to .250 Savage cases. My normal load,being a relatively mild load) would not blow out the dents. It wasn't until I loaded a stiff load of IMR4320 powder that finally ironed them out!
