[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1953251, member: 108965"] No. I have never annealed them, and I've been using nickel plated brass on and off for 30+ years, grew up using it with my dad. It's what I am using on all my hunting rifles now, two 7mm-08's and one 7mm Rem Mag. On one '08 im using Winchester and on the other two rifles Federal. I also have some Remington's I need to prep the necks on for the 7 Rem Mag. Some of the Winchester brass is on its 10th or 11th firing and no issues at all. Some will say don't use it as it will ruin your dies and chamber as the nickel flakes off. This is not true, if you regularly clean your rifles and your dies you'll be perfectly fine. One of my RCBS reloading dies for the 7mm-08 is 20+ years old and it has gone through thousands of reloads now with normal and nickel plated brass, again, I do clean them but you need to anyway. Hope this helps and stay safe [/QUOTE]
