ok so i goofed and used a little to much sizeing lube when full length sizeing and now i got a couple cases with dent under the shoulder my question is are they still ok to reload??
 
x2, if they are small then go ahead, when fired then will sort them selfs out. if you managed to cave like 1/2 the shoulder in, you MIGHT get away with fire forming them back to shape but i definatly wouldnt be running a full chage and bullet in them. and for the cost of brass i wouldnt bother trying it unless they are some odd ball hard to come by caliber
 
You don't say which cartridge, but they either head spoace on the rim, belt or shoulder, none on the body and they all seal at the neck. Thus, unless you have half collapsed the body or have dents big enough to dramatically change the interior capacity they will be fine. The dents will pop right out.
