A few weeks ago, I got a couple of hundred brand new nickle plated .45LC cases which I loaded a shot last weekend.
On some of the cases, the nickle plating started to peel from around the mouth of the cases.
Could this be a result of over crimping? I use a standard Lee crimping die, not an FCD, and I do put a crimp on my bullets, not excessive but snug. I've never had any problems with the brass cases ever splitting or anything, but this is the first time I actually loaded nickle plated cases so I don't know what to really expect.
