[QUOTE="TexSavage, post: 1953265, member: 6245"] Yep, annealed nickel plated brass for my 300 WSM. I have so many reloads on the nickel, at least 10, and have annealed them every reload for the last 5 reloads. Worked fine for me and yes I also use the salt bath. Before the salt bath I used a torch and Tempilaq. Biggest thing I saw after annealing was the significance of a much lower ES in my velocities. Just make sure all your brass is of the same manufacturer. I have data that shows all brass, nickel of not, have very different velocities in my 300 WSM. A spread of about 55 fps from fastest to slowest. I deprime, anneal, and then resize. I have now retired all my nickel and non nickel brass that had 10 plus reloads. Four different types, Winchester brass and nickel, Federal Nickel and Nosler/Norma. I have now switched exclusively to Nosler/Norma (I learned they are both made by Norma) as they have produced the highest velocities as well as the lowest ES. Your mileage may vary. [/QUOTE]
