Doc's mention of Sam's recommendation of solids in nickel sounds like a good plan to me.

I have been marking my solids case heads with a red paint pen, but the nickel cases would be better.

Any one know a source for the 450 3 1/4" nickel plated brass?

Many Thanks

HBH,
I nickle plated some 45/90 brass that I was shooting blackpowder in back a few years ago in an electroless-nickle plating solution. It simply required the solution to be heated up. Might try to find someone that could just nickle a few that you already have.

HBH,

Post your request in the "Gunsmith" and "Reloading" forums. There is a gentleman who frequents there who might be able to help out.

Alternatively, I looked into a few plating places here in New Jersey and there were more than I expected. If the first suggestion doesn't work out there might be someone close to you that will do it for a nominal fee.

Good luck,

Paul

Thanks fellas I'll give that a whirl.

Many Thanks

I take a sharpie and color the back ends of the cartridges black, and I show the trackers which cartridge is which.
