I'm thinking there is a lot of nickel plated factory loaded ammo out there and there must be a reason.
I have noticed that the Remington RSAUM and Ultra Mag brass seems a bit on the soft side.
Does anyone know how and have the equipment to test this?
Anyway back to my point. I have been considering switching to nickel plated brass for the Remington RSUAM and Ultra Mag catridges.
I would be running the pressure right under the point where ejector marks and flattened primers occur. Then only neck sizing the cases to 0.001 or 0.002 tension.
I am thinking I may be able to squeeze a bit more out of the Remington nickel plated brass than the seemingly soft regular brass.
Anyone tried this?
I have never messed with nickel plated brass, what are the draw backs?
