what shape are the dents? If crescent shaped, this indicates primer cup edges are being shaved upon seating. To correct this, snug up the shellplate bolt a little.

I had dents on primers with both 44 mag and 38spec. I kept getting a grain of Unique stuck to the primer seat. Now I just keep an eye on it when I go back to that powder. They still fired fine.
