Welcome from the Helena area!

I agree too much lube typically causes dents that look like that.

Hornady brass is fine for what it’s worth. I have tried most of them as well and stick with ADG, Peterson, or Lapua, for my own guns, but I have had pretty good luck with Hornady over the years too. It might not last as long as the big boy brass, but if you already purchased it, maybe keep it...
