[QUOTE="11 Charlie, post: 1055565, member: 80172"] Last year I got 20 Remington unfired nickel plated brass for my .300 WBY. They came in a lot of brass I purchased off Gunbroker. It was the first time I ever used nickel brass and it will be the last.I got 93 cases for 35 bucks but I've gone back to sticking with Weatherby brass as it is considerably more consistent and long lasting in my Mark V. Anyway, the second time I full length sized it I noticed my case necks were seriously scratched all the way around. I am very meticulous about cleaning brass before sizing but I cleaned them again as well as cleaning the die. Same story on sizing more brass. As I hadn't read my die instructions in years (RCBS), I got them out and sure enough they warned about nickel cases scratching them. I sent them to RCBS and they polished the scratches out and replaced the internals and lock nut( for free, of course, great customer service!) They sent them back with a little note telling me to "avoid nickel cases if at all possible". It may be a rare occurrence but as my luck would have it, not for me! Good shooting and God Bless!
