    NICKEL CASES, ARE THEY RELOADABLE?

    As per title, can someone please tell me if they are reloadable and if so, are the process the same as brass?

    Thank you in advance.

    This question has come up on Saubier.com a few times. The answer has always been the same - it scratches the die.

    I had some winchester nickel that I reloaded for 280 and 300wsm. Managed 2 reloads then started getting split necks and couldnt be stuffed annealing so chucked them. I hadnt considered damage to dies.
