No better accuracy, but better corrosion resistance if that matters to you. If you are going to put ammo in a leather loop holder, nickel is your friend.

And sometimes ammo companies do something simply because it looks cool.

I still have a bunch of pulled turk 8mm bullets with the cupro nickel jacket. They are magnetic. I don't have any plans to shoot them currently, but I've never sold them off or traded them away either.
