Nickel +P brass?

[Hill Kuntry Boy]

Can it be used for regular loads? I've never used nickel Before to reload so. It's all the brass I can find for my 1911 online or in stock I should say... Unless anyone knows of another place to find regular brass.

Yes +P can be downloaded to regular pressures.

How much brass you need? I can get some regular brass. 45acp I'm assuming? Shoot me a PM and I'll see what I can come up with.

Yes it can be reloaded. Nickel brass isn't as durable as regular brass cases. I could easily get 5-6 reloadings from standard brass. 3-4 max for the nickel. I think the nickel process makes the case brittle.

I've noticed the same thing.

I am referring to my experience with pistol brass. I'm sure rifle brass is similar. I've reloaded very little nickel rifle brass

Thanks for the info guys

I would assume so too. I've tried it with .45acp, 9mm, and .38spl and it doesn't hold up as good as the regular brass. I haven't reloaded any nickle rifle brass yet, but I'd think it'd have the same outcome.
