I shoot quite a few of larger capacity magnums (a very expensive habit considering how fast that eats powder).
Recently I've been shooting 7mm STW in both conventional brass as well as nickel coated brass. It may be purely a coincidence--but I've noticed that generally the nickel-plated brass doesn't get the same expansion ahead of the belt that conventional brass cases do. Everything seems easier--reloading, chambering etc.
Anyone else experience this with big belted magnums?
