Nickel brass is good to have for ammo that you are storing in leather belt loops, like the old, western revolver rigs. No verdigris.
Not my experience from the 1970s, but then I may have left the nickel-plated cases in the loops too long. Anyway, they did develop verdigris (green grunge) in my leather loops. Cases were R-P obtained from factory loads to get reloading brass.Nickel brass is good to have for ammo that you are storing in leather belt loops, like the old, western revolver rigs. No verdigris.
No.It comes at a premium; is it worth it?

I was under the impression that the nickel plating is slicker than brass making it easier and more reliable to chamber. This is the reason a lot of premium self defense ammo is nickle plated. Nickle plated brass does however split after fewer reloads than standard brass. So it depends on what you are after, longevity or reliability...
