I actually prefer nickel plated brass to brass brass. Number one it's just so shiney, and easy to pick out from other brass at the range, I lose less of it. Second, they don't tarnish anywhere near as fast in the hot humid weather we get here on the Southern Gulf Coast. I have never noticed they don't last as many reloads than brass brass that others claim. My dies seem to handle them quite well. What's not to like?

Trade me any Nickel plated you get for the same amount of brass if I have that caliber!
