[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 448102, member: 951"] well think about it You have soft brass, thats coated inside and out with a hard brittle steel coating, as you work it the nickel resists the sizing operation, springs back bad, while the brass is malable and wants to form as brass should, it does eventualy flake off, and what about the nickel inside where the heat and pressure does its thing. nickel steel is harder than your chamber or your dies so it will scratch them up (bet those flakes from the inside works wonders on the throat) nickel is good if ya use it for its intended purpose, load it and carry it under any conditions and it doesn't tarnish, but I won't reload it anymore, I've saw it flake, it works hard, and I'm not risking it. ya want pics of win 25 wssm nickel cases with brass necks? its ok, but not for a reloader, they use nickel steel rods to weld stainless and cast iron, that should tell ya somethin.
