I have a Ruger Ranch rifle in 5.56mm. I also reload 223 ammo. After firing my reloads, each cartridge has a noticeable dent about halfway between the rim and case mouth. I even tried some commercial loads...same dent. Ruger can't explain why, except to say the ranch rifle has a violent ejection. Anyone else experience the same with this rifle?
Also, even after running the empty cases through my FFL sizing die, the dent is till noticeable. I'm erring on the side of caution and not reloading these.
