Hey guys I'm kind of new here so I hope I'm posting this in the right place.  I recently purchased this unit and I'm very happy with it.  At a 100 yards its pretty much dead on target (it came that way out of the box), every round is in a 5 inch circle, and thats good enough for me.  I would take the gun into battle any day?  LOL.  Here is the problem, I purchased some Russian ammo MFS 124 Gr Fmj and in a brass case.  I got it dirt cheap a number of years back from Cabelas.  When I shoot the gun the brass ejects with no problem and clears everytime.  When I pick up the brass there is a small dent in the case about a half inch down from the case mouth.  The rest of the brass looks perfect.  Guys I would like to save this brass because I like to reload and its something I can do with my time.  Yeah I know you can buy the bullets cheaper than a person can reload so why waist my time.  But like I said I like to reload.  Ok now with the small dent,  what can be causing it?  As near as I can figuar the spent case must be hitting the finger pull on the bolt when its ejecting?  Could there be some kind of timing issue here?  Am I off base?  Any other ideas?  Any help here would sure be appreciated.  Thanks

Dented brass is common in the AK.
