That is NOT a dent... that is case collapse. It is a phenomenon caused by a low pressure load that does not seal the neck and thus gas escapes around to the case and the pressure is trapped between the case and the chamber. Notice the soot on the neck/shoulder area, that is a sign of either not enough powder, or too slow of powder.
