Here are some more facts about the drawbacks of nickle plating brass--especially as pertains to rifle rounds and annealing. I was not much concerned with this article when I first read it as I did not use nickle brass in rifle rounds--but since I have been using an induction heater I have discovered that I can actually anneal certain handgun cases and when you heat nickle it becomes more brittle while the brass becomes softer--not a good situation...........anyway--read what Varmint Al has to say on the subject a couple of pages down--------->
