On a related note... anyone seen .44 Mag in nickel plates cases?
I can't say that I have looked for any of it-- in fact, I don't recall ever actually buying any factory .44 Mag ammo (I reload in this caliber, but never bought factory stuff)

I like to use nickel in .38 Spl. I have a heap of it, so if I wear it out, that's okay. It's pretty, it's slick, so I like it. If I were buying new (or even once-fired) and I had a choice, I'd choose regular brass for it's longer life-span.

Tell me what caliber you need and I'll see what I have to swap. PM me and we'll discuss.
