So I opened up a new box of 6.5 CM brass today as I'm reloading, and (not sure if I need to) but I always full length resize new brass and as I'm running em though my press I found 2 cases right outta the box like this... again this is before I ran them though my full length die.

Are these still alright to use? Would the indent just get worked out when I fire it? or should I just ditch em?

That can happen during the swaging process. Don't worry about it even a little bit, just load them and shoot them..........the case will be formed to the chamber before the bullet clears the leade. Do not size them again though before firing as you may collapse the shoulder, just load 'em up as is and go shooting.
You would not believe some of the weird looking abortions that I have fire formed to lovely cases when wildcatting. Basically my motto is if they enter the chamber and headspace, pull the trigger and voila, out comes a specimen of my latest aberrant creative thought.

10/10 Awesome, thanks.
 
I even had a case like that from Norma of Sweden....[they are usually very meticulous about their product] One 308 Norma mag case in a box of 20 had 2 shoulders. one about ¼"
back of the other and slightly off-center. Loaded it up and fired it. That fixed it right up, lol. D.
 
If it was expensive brass maybe send the picture to the manufacturer so they can be aware of the issue. They can't fix issues they don't know exist. I agree with the others though, load, shoot, enjoy time at the range
 
If I were a brass manufacturer, I would package those and ship as well. As long as they fall within weight parameters, which I'm sure they do, there is absolutely nothing flawed about them........it's just a dint, which will no longer be there when the pressure hits about 10K psi. Lopsided necks and oversize primer pockets are much greater flaws and concern to me than a couple dints.
