Nickle Brass ?
I can get 500 pieces of 40 cal nickle brass for $5.99. Does it reload just as good as Brass?

I don't reload so I don't know this as a fact but they(A Gun Mag) said Nickel can't be loaded as many times as brass they cracked and split with less loads. IIRC they were loading 357mag Dustin

Got it right Dustin. It don't hold up as good as brass, but it loads ok.

Mkae sure it's nickle and not that blazer alloy crap!!!

Leave the nickel brass where it is!! It's harder than regular brass, resizes with difficulty and can scratch a die body! Nickel brass is trash!! GHD

What GHD said. Hard on dies and gives fewer reloads than brass T The only use for nickle is to prevent corrosion when carried in leather gunbelt loops. The acid in leather causes the green verdigris on brass cases
