I'm setting up to load .45ACP for the first time and was sorting though most of my once fired brass. I was mainly looking for neck and head problems, but I found a few with a very short perpendicular crease about midway down the brass. I assume that this came from the case catching the sharp edge at the top of the slide outside the ejection port. This crease also forms a little bubble on the inside of the case.

While this crease or dent is very small, should I reject these cases? What else should I look for?
