Can you reload the cases from Federal Hydrashok or Winchester Ranger?

I can't find the answer to this question anywhere so I apologize if this has been discussed before. I have a bunch of hydrashoks and winchester ranger ammo that I want to test in my guns for reliable feeding. These cases are not brass colored but I am wondering if they are reloadable? Should I save the cases from these rounds or not worry about it? Thanks.

Where do you think once fired brass comes from. The only unreloadable brass is AMERC is it crap, and aluminum cased berdan primed blazer. S&B can be stinker with tight primer pockets.

KDS, if they have shiny mirror chrome finish, they are nickel plated brass cases.

Yes, you can reload nickel plated brass cases like regular brass cases.

Thanks bds, that is exactly the answer I was looking for. I wasn't sure what the cases were made of. Thanks again.
