[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 2032849, member: 18849"] I have used nickel plated off & on for years. It is useful in wildcats where headstamps might match other rifles in your (or your grandsons) arsenal. The color over brass is easily recognized. I turn necks (plating on them goes by by). I normally anneal every cycle. The cases anneal as any other but the heat "staining" on the shoulder and below it is not visible. Cleaning dies often is recommeded because the nickel has a tendency to build up & will scratch the nickel on other cases as well as any brass cases used with that die. A quick polish with flitz or jb paste removes the nickel/brass buildup. [/QUOTE]
