Hi I am fairly new to bullet reloading and have only reloaded brass casings. On gun broker I just bought 1000 .45 ACP caliber casings and when I got them, 400 were polished brass and 600 were polished nickel! It's not the cheap aluminum or tin and they (the nickel ones) look really heavy duty. Are the nickel casings re-loadable and as good as the brass? When I emailed the seller he told me brass stood for empty bullet casings (his gun broker page stated 1000 brass casings) and he has sold tens of thousands of nickel casings and never had a complaint! Thanks in advance because I can send them back at my expense, but if they are re-loadable I will keep them!
