briant_azNickel plated brass
I just wanted to see if anyone has used any of it. I am thinking about getting some for my 280 because that is all that Sportsman's warhouse has in stock and I wanted to get some opinions on it. Thanks guys!

LuckyduckerI have used both plated and non-plated brass in 264Win and they both load and shoot the same. The only advantage to the nickle plated stuff is it is resistant to tarnishing.

graybirdWelcome to the forum!!!

See this
thread.
You'll find varying differences in opinion.
I currently have some for my 300 WM that I'm testing. My jury is still out on what I like or don't lke about them.

craigsterI've used it in a couple different rifle calibers. I don't really care for it for pretty the same reasons that you'll find in the link by graybird. It's fine for handgun rounds. But, if I needed it and couldn't find the caliber in plain brass, I'd go for it.
