Case material. Steel, nickel plated, or...?

SS_N_NE:
Just a quick note about nickle plated brass: it has a rather limited reload life. The nickle plate will cause the brass to fail in fewer reloads than plain brass. Watch for cracking around the case mouth mostly in the crimp area. Sometimes sides just give up. Like anything else...results and opinion vary. It is particularly good for putting up some "emergency" reserve since the nickle plate will reduce corrosion (like a brass case..brown...green).
