Small dents in Brass

[RImike]

I was sorting through my brass getting ready to reload it and i noticed a small dent in the case in the middle of about 20 of .223 brass. The small dent didn't even catch my nail, yet it is there. The question at hand is is this brass loadable or should i discard it?

I had the same question about half way through this thread.

Cases with large dents will work too but only one time. The dent turns into a split and is NG from then on out. Some will show a crack when sized and these are tossed. All my brass is 1C fired so I don't quite know how many times I can reload it. Only using light loads so I hope it is at least three.
