[QUOTE="uncleB, post: 98418, member: 4679"] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] dwm, NO but it can cause more pressure because of reduced case capacity. UB [/ QUOTE ]I have only used nickel plated cases in 2 guns one was a 300WM ,I had Fed Nickel plated cases and Fed regular brass cases the necks were .0005 thicker and the cases held 3grns less water in the nickel than the all brass cases , same story on gun #2 270win only with Win nickel and all brass cases and 2 gr difference. did you measure cases of the same manufacturer????????? UB First time I've heard or read about nickel plated cases having less capacity. I've measured body and neck wall thickness as well as case capacity and weight between Federal .308 Win. all brass and nickel plated cases. Zero difference. So, these two types will produce the same pressure with the same reassembly techniques. [/ QUOTE ] [/QUOTE]
