You mean the spent round sitting on top of the cloth case? I believe that is actually an illusion. None of the cases I picked up had any dents in them. It seem to extract fine. I think the "dent" is light reflecting off of the tapered neck.

Yes, casings get dented from this rifle at times. Not to worry, the military doesn't worry about empty condition, they just salvage it out anyway.
