shaner,
will tell you that nickel is harder to work than brass. nickel is a plating on the brass and will also scratch when being resized. i haven't attmepted to anneal any of the nickel plated simply because i mainly neck size for my 300 mag and don't shoot it that much. if i was to go back, i would buy regular brass and not hassle with the nickel. also, if you go to a ackly, i understand(my personal disclaimer!!)that the nickel is harder to fireform because of the plating. hot diggity, its nice to be back on the board!! good shooting,
john
