I just picked up 600 rounds of Remington Golden Saber nickel plated brass .357 magnum, 125 gr JHPs. I paid over a dollar a round for it. Not real happy about it but you gotta get what you can when you can these days. Any thoughts about the nickel plated brass as far as reloading?

The nickel is no problem, just use good lube as usual.

Doable .... About 3 to 4 times with close check of your brass each time.

Starline is my first choice of brass. Good quality.

Right now I have slowed my range day to every other week and just two boxes out of my concealed carry rig only. Dove season is around the corner so cleaning up the MEC for dove loads for my old Model 12 Winchester this next few weekends.

Hope yer well, buy what ya can find. Expensive yet a lesson to never again think supply won’t run out.

Stay safe !

My experience is that the nickle cases develop cracks at the case mouth sooner than unplated cases. My guess is that it work hardens faster than brass.
