Hey all, you'll have to excuse the intrusion but I wandered over from the Black Powder side to ask a question.
I recently started loading 38 S&W cartridges with 10gr 3f Goex. The only "Brass" I had on hand was nickle plated and I'm curious. When I see advertising for "Once Fired" brass, the ad usually states that it contains "No Nickle".
I've loaded these three times so far and I can't see what the big deal is about not using nickle. They clean up good (Black Powder is not friendly on your brass). Obviously I'm missing something so fill me in. Why not nickle???
I'm using Lee Carbide dies if it makes a difference.
Thanks for your help.
