Somehow I ended up with a hundred nickel-plated .38 SPC cartridges. Man will they look all professional and mean when there's that shiny speer copper atop them, but somewhere I read that nickel causes die problems? I'm running Redding carbide dies by the way. Should I use lube despite the fact that the dies are carb.?
