dented 9mm brass and carbide dies

[stevebc]

I've salvaged a bunch of 9mm brass that appears to have been fired from a Glock, and you can see the dent most of them have:

My question is- will these dented cases damage my carbide dies?

Further question- looking at the first pic, has anyone noticed that Win 9mm now has a beveled edge on the base of the brass?

They should not damage your dies. Clean them and then process them as usual.

You'll never know they were dented after you resize them. I usually have a few dinged cases from hitting the concrete floor at the range.

Not a problem, load away.

My dad's M&P does this to his brass and he reloads without any issues. You're good to go!

The carbide is MUCH harder than the brass...

you will have no trouble what so ever, i resize dented brass all the time, the only trouble i could see on some brass is you may shorten the reload life if you are continually bending and straightening but 9mm no way you will lose it before you break it lol

Thanks for the replies, this is good to know. I have a lot of old brass that needs replacing.
