Ok,
so i just bought some Nickle plated Winchester brass for my .280 Winchester model 70 featherweight. I reloaded the absolute snot out of some nickle plated .223 brass, but i was loading low and slow (55 grain vmax at 2800 fps using 3031 powder). mainly for target shooting and 100 yd jackrabbits. I never experienced a problem with nickle plated brass then, and i don't expect to now. What are the pro's and con's of nickle plated brass other than the stated (smoother feeding, and prettier). i know the deer thats in my crosshairs will never know if the bullet that just tore through his heart came from a nickle plated case, or moly coated bullet or etc... just curious i suppose. Thanks for your input.
