Nickel plated brass
is all I use for my Remington Rolling Block blackpowder .45-70 loads. They go straight from firing right into a jug of hot soapy water, and the nickel plating does a great job of resisting the corrosive effects of blackpowder residue. After tumbling, they come out looking perfect, even inside the cases.
I also use them for 9mm, .38 Special, .357 Magnum, and .45 ACP, until the brass starts to show through the plating, then they're discarded.
