Dogs &ammo don't mix

[Mgderf]

I accidentally left my gun room door ajar, and my "puppy" (65lbs)
got in, and found a box of .223.

Most are untouched, but 2 or 3 rounds have a small indentation in them. One on the case wall, about half-way up the case. Two are directly on the shoulder, just below the neck. Each dent is about 1/16th" deep.

I was wondering, what could be the results if these were fired? I'm not going to risk damage or injury to find out. Three rounds are not enough to sweat over.

I am curious though. Could this situation cause an over-pressure? Am I just being over-cautious?

No problems to fire. Cases get dents on occasion. When you fire, the case will form to the chamber. I've had dents in cases from over lube when reloading. Loaded them up and shot them with no issues.

If the cases are bent as a result of the bite, they won't chamber. If they chamber freely, the dents wil be blown out upon firing. No problems.

Don't forget to beat the dog!

Might want to count the rounds..... and not kick the dog until you are sure!

If he poops/pops 55gr fmj then you will have to change his name to sparky as he has muzzleflash out his rear in the yard!

And always keep your dog pointed in a safe direction, be sure of his backstop, etc... Remember, EVERY dog is loaded!

It wasn't hard to see this thread would devolve into a fart joke from the title alone.
