Load the brass and shoot the ammo. The dents will come right out, no problems. I've done it many times with dented brass.
Make sure the vent hole is not plugged with lube debris on your sizer die. A small paper clip is thin enought to fit in the hole. Flush the die out with carb or brake cleaner, and then lightly lube the inside of the die with a Q-tip.

Just know that this brass will now be weaker that the other brass.......... so you may want to mark them and keep an eye on them for splits and cracks that might start before the other brass.
They with "Fire form" back to the original shape but also have been worked more than the others..........
Load them until they break !!

It won't be any weaker. From now on though, wipe the lube off the shoulders and case neck before sizing. There will be enough lube left on the neck for sizing purposes. Everybodys done this at least once.
