nickel plated brass for reloading

My local gun shop having a sale on it. 100 for 29$. This is 22-250. Has anyone used these and what should be know about this type of case? Thanks, Dan

Lots of different thoughts and concerns about it.
However I have had very good luck with it in the 243.
It is harder to size, also trim. IF the case prep was poor from the factory, then the plating can cause issues; as it is harder and can tear-up the bullet.

It's shiny....other than that no differences.

I'll just mirror the above about it being harder to size and trim, so long as you chamfer it fine it shouldn't tear up the bullet, but that applies for any brass. I currently have a few nickel plated pieces of brass for my 300WSM and 7mm-08 and didn't notice a huge difference loading for them.

Some thing people believe about nickel plated brass is that it doesn't last as long as regular brass, right now all my nickel plated brass is on their 4th loading (same as other brass) and is just fine, they've already outlasted my federal brass (loose primer pockets) and are still going strong.

I have loaded some in 280 Rem for my cuz, and so far its been no problems.

Nickle plated brass is always on sale somewhere...ever wonder why?
Because it's seconds. They nickle plate it to cover cosmetic defects.

Have 1k 308 Nickel Plated cases found no problems as yet

I don't think you can anneal nickel plated brass. I have used Federal plated brass in the past and they only went 4 or 5 loadings before the necks started splitting.
Best regards,
