"scuffed" up bullet casing.

So I was checking out the bullets in my magazine. I took notice to the bullet on the top. I don't know because it's been taken out and put in one too many times. There is like a groove on it. Should that be ok to still leave there? I'd hate to have to throw out a bullet I use for carry.

it is generally not good to chamber and re-chamber the same round.

What I do, is alternate the chambered round with others in the same mag.

Yeah. If I move that bullet around in the magazine will it still be safe to shoot if I need it.

Cartridge. The bullet is just the projectile. The cartridge consists of case, powder, primer, and bullet.

Unless it is visibly shorter than the pristine cartridges, I wouldn't worry about it.
