Is there any advantage or disadvantage to nickel plated brass? I found a good price on some Remington 45 ACP, with nickel plated brass, Just curious what you all think.
I asked the same thing on the 1st of this month. I am not sure how to copy a link to that thread. I just did a "search" for Nickle vs Brass and my thread was listed had some good answers.
I've had flaking issues with Starline .45 ACP nickel brass in the past, I just use regular brass now. I still have about 7-800 Federal nickel cases left and they have always worked well.
As noted, I find nickel cases fail sooner than brass. The RP nickel I bought, was too small ID to hold a jacketed bullet after sizing. So I used it only for lead bullets, whcih run 0.001" larger in dia.
