[QUOTE="oneof79, post: 1496542, member: 3138"] I haven't reloaded many nickle rifle cases except for a few 30-30 cases I have yet to shoot. I have loaded tons of .38 special and .357 mag cases that were nickle plated. Some of those cases the nickle is wearing off to the point you can see the brass underneath. I have also heard that the nickle is hard on dies, I think about the worst that could happen is that it might enlarge the size of the sizing die after several thousand rounds. Dirt will scratch a die if you don't clean your brass and sometimes will leave scratch marks in resized brass if the scratches in the die are deep enough. I wouldn't worry about resizing nickle cases unless you are going to load thousands of rounds. [/QUOTE]
