I am about to try reloading some nickel cases to see how they do. Any tricks to make them work better? The dies are carbide, so that may help. I have heard most of the negatives...but I have all these cases that are just begging for some powder and lead. :D:2gunsfiring_v1:I sure would hate to waste them. :D

I load lots of nickle cases. I do notice that they seem to be the first to split, but they work fine until then. No special tricks.

Great thing about nickled cases--they don't corrode in yer pocket like Barney Fife's brass cases.

I've loaded thousands of nickel 9mm cases w/o a problem, go forth and load. BTW, spray One Shot on the cases even if using carbide dies, it'll make sizing MUCH easier (that's the one thing Koski told me that actually works)

I wondered about lube. .....now if I had some One Shot. :rolleyes: That stuff is hard to get...along with anything else Hornady makes. :(
