Mix nickle and brass?

I have about 100 nickle plated once fired 7mm-08 cases. Should I stick just to the regular brass and toss these nickle cases? Will I get any different results if I load the nickle cases? Anything special to consider if I use them?

Thanks!!

Saw - Heavens NO I wouldn't "toss" the nickle cases. [Eek!] Just keep them separate. I've got some .308 nickle and a lot of straight brass cases. I just segregate them. The nickle cases are damn good. Federal's I assume?

Sawblade - This is an often debated subject around here. Nickle cases can pose some potential problems. They are hard on your dies and the nickle can flake off after several reloads. Use them and segregate them as Pecos stated, however, inspect them often and toss them if they begin to flake. Other than looking nice, nickle cases have little benefit.
