Yes, I pick up gravel pit .223 brass. I put in with my miscellaneous brass for reloading plinking ammo. Small dents just get expanded out with the next firing. I like the above rule about smooth versus creased. I never load to max pressures either (like below military case levels). But overall I find very little .223 brass compared to what I shoot of my own.
My own good brass, LC and R-P, I keep separate from the mixed bag brass. I use this good brass for loading more precision rounds by headstamp.
