I'm not sure why you would want the nickle? I could go through my reloads to see how many I have for an even trade with brass.

To be honest I have a lot of once reloaded 380's but I don't remember how many nickle cases.

Nickle is good for one thing preventing corosion while the rounds are in a magazine in a holster or pocket, and exposed to say salt air and high humidity...

nickle

I wondered about that. Do they reload differently?

Nickle and brass load the same, but nickle doesn't last as long. The nickle splits quicker because it is more brittle.

You might check Midway for Starline Brass. They made some 'odd' stuff. They're as likely as any to have nickle .380 ACP.

.380 brass

Farmland,

I tried to PM you but it said not accepting PM's. Do you still have any .380 brass you would like to trade? Or would be interested in trading?
Please let me know.

Shoot em straight

Thanks

I had some one email me and I shipped them out for free, I'm sorry I do not have anymore at the present. That reminds me I have to get some 25-06 dies shipped this week.
