DH;
1) Why nickel plate rounds? Because some people thingk they look good, and they are easier to keep clean, and easier to see in the grass, concrete or table.
2) Are nickel plated rounds good for reloading? I have reloaded nickel cases for years and they appear to hold up as well as the brass. I just got some new StarLine nickel plated brass. These have only been fired twice with no failures up to this point. We will see how they hold up after 5 reloads, then 10 reloads.
