I've never tried doing anything with nickel brass. I remember seeing it some where that the nickel plating could cause a problem with fireformed cases just don't remember where I saw it or who said it. Hopefully it was someone from here & they can explain it further. If they don't, check around I swear that I remember there was something to watch out for.

I do know, from experience, that nickle cases CAN scratch dies!

I think the idea on the nickel was that it wouldn't grip the chamber real well upon firing. Varmint Al's had a pretty good article if I remember correctly?
