[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 1159168, member: 18849"] Can't answer that one...never tried stainless media...My guess that it would not be any different and clean up the same... I believe the plating is applied with the electroless method and is only about .001 thick (give or take)...It does eventually start wearing thru in places as the sizing process is repeated (10+)...The neck will show signs the first...In my 6.5-06 I have gotten as many as 15-20 and that batch is still going strong...and the necks are mostly brass looking now.... As I mentioned we use it mostly for identification purposes but if I found a good deal on on nickle plated stuff for any of what I reload for I wouldn't hesitate...Obviously, Remington and Winchester produced a lot of it and I found that it was not any better than brass in the weight/volume sorting aspect.
