My shotguns ejectore dents the bass shell casings is that common

I been hunting in shotgun zone using a rem 1187 noticed the one in the chamber brass caseing gets  dented when i unload my gun. So i dont put  that one in the  feed tube and always load that one first next time hunting  manually into  the chamber of the gun.

 So far never had a jam with this gun . Except from one shell that had been reloaded and unloaded  3 or more  times and i did not notice the dents  loaded it in the feed tube and it  jammed up 

But just wondering  if that is normal  for the extractor to dent them up every time you load and unload the gun .

I have an 11-87 and have had several 1100s...I have noticed the same thing, especially with turkey loads that may have been loaded and unloaded from the guns numerous times...I have never experienced any malfunctions from the dents..I just ignore them.

The one that jammed i think i dropped also and the rim may have gotten scratched up in any case it never happend again .  Just something now i pay attention to

A lot of my slugs have dents all around them from being loaded and unloaded all the time. It has never seemed to be an issue.
