I have read all of the replies to my questions and appreciate them. The information sounds logical to me and is what I want to hear. Logic, of course, is not science so I reply this way. It seems there is a common thought that dents and repaired dents are less of an issue than bulges and repaired bulges? My thinking is, a dent is bulged in not out? A "bulge" is most often cause by an obstruction and pressure a dent by an impact. The "work hardening" would apply (positively) in either deformation? Leaving then; a dent is not an issue unless it obstructs the bore and a bulge is not an issue -unless it allows the wad to become an obstruction?
I am going on with this because of opinions I have read that basically say fix a dent, scrap a bulge.
The fellow that fixed my two dents charged me for five dents. Three, I didn't see obviously? Neither of us saw the bulge.
