I tried for a long time to segregate what i load just being anal about it.
I kept WW brass for target loads. WWnickel for small game loads, and Fed nickel for SD loads in 38 special.
In 44 special, i was loading everything with hard cast, nickel were the stomper loads and brass was the plinker loads. Now I do the same in 44 mag and 45 colts, brass are target/plinker loads, nickel are heavy game loads
Do they last longer? Not sure, I do know that in leather belts, with shell holders, nickel cases seem to last longer without corroding.
A friend who spends a lot of time in the bush of alaska says that nickel cases feed smoother when they sit around in your pocket all fall.
