[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1652885, member: 26227"] CO-Guy, do not use Nickeled brass in steel sizing dies. only use non-nickeled. the nickel is the same rockwell as the die and will start to stick to the inside of the die and will give you grooves in your brass. only carbide pistol dies will size nickeled cases without a problem. yes the nickeled brass is harder, and you must anneal them a lot more often. I have formerly nickeled brass that I have washed and sized so much that I wore the nickeling off the outside of the bras. I have much better SD's with non-nickeled brass. I have much better luck keeping the chamber smooth and all around better for the gun and the reloading equipment. [/QUOTE]
