The process used to get the plating to stik to the brass has bad affects on it`s ductilability (is that a real word ??) & thus shortens it`s service life compared to plain yellow brass, generally.
With that said I`ve shotfactory loadings from all the major suppliers in the past loaded in yellow brass thathave split on the initial firing !
& I have loaded nickel cases until the nickel wore thin & also have had the plating to flake off .
In general I don`t seek nickel cases to load ,but yes I do have some loaded , they`re in the loops on the belt .
Glad you or the revolverwere`nt hurt !!!
I have been known to anneal yellow 357 brass!
They went rite back to shooting very consistently across the chrony!!
