The other thread about the use of nickel plated cases brought up old questions and I thought I'd start a new thread rather than derail that one.
I have a lot of .38/.357 nickel plated cases which I've saved over time. I have also picked up a lot of .40 nickel plated cases...enough to actually start loading the caliber.
Two questions, one of functionality and another on case prep.
1. I know they are slicker, but are they slick enough to make ejecting fired cases from a revolver more reliable?
2. Is there a danger of the nickel peeling when cleaning the cases in a wet tumbler with Lemi-shine, liquid detergent/wax, and stainless steel pins
Thanks for sharing any experience you have with these
