Starline makes nickel plated .41 Magnum brass but it's currently on backorder.

Try some Pecard's leather dressing.
It is good stuff that should help cut down, if not eliminate, the verdigris. I use it for collectible military holsters and slings. JT |

the nickel plating is softer than the steel or carbide insert and won't hurt the dies. if you choose to shoot some factory loads the 41 mag Winchester 240 grain platinum tip is nickel plated brass. I think the Fedral cast core load is also nickel plated. the Winchester load was very accurate in a TC super 14

I like the nickel plated brass a little better because the lubricity of the plating makes it feed a little better in semi-auto pistols. I have never seen the galling from the plated brass

I concur with dahermit.
I find nickel plated cases to be more brittle than brass. |

I've seen some Remington nickel-plated .41 Mag brass before.
I don't know that they have offered any recently, though.

Nickle may be more brittle, but case life depends on other factors as well. I have some .357 nickel brass my dad picked up in the early 80's and loaded 13 times before giving it to me when I picked up my .357 mag. Since then, I have another 15 or so loadings through that same 50 cases, without a single split case, or any issue with bullet tension. Stay away from high pressure, max loads and excessive case mouth expansion, and your brass can last for years, be it nickel plated or plain brass.
