ive noticed lately after shooting a round and looking at the bras there is a very small indention on the case close to the shoulder about the size of a fine lead pencel. like there is something in the chamber. how do i get this out of there or is this not a problem?

There may very well be a small piece of dirt sitting in the neck area.  Upon firing, the case is expanding and denting, just like sizing a case in a dirty die or one with to much lube on the case.  Another possibility is, you may be leaving some solvent or oil in the chamber and it is denting the neck.  If you are not using a bore guild, try and run an over sized patch in the chamber area to get any solvent that may be left there out.

i have cleaned the chamber good and tried wraping a piece of paper towel around a jag and turn inside but it still leaves a mark on the case after firing

Do a search for varmint al's web site.  You can find him over on http://www.varminthunters.com/forums/ggvg/index.shtml.  If I remember correctly, he tells how to polish your chamber.  That may take what ever it is out.  Also, try and get a bright light and see if you can see what it might be.  Look at some loads before there shot and make sure there are no dents.  Then fire them and ease the cases out catching them before they are ejected.  See if the dents are in the same location.  If it is a chamber problem, then the dents should be in the same location.  If it is a brass problem, the dents may vary there location on the neck.  If you are not reloading then it should not be a problem.
