I've been shooting Mag-tech .357 through my Rossi LA, because it works flawlessly in it, and I'm saving all my brass for my forays into reloading. Do the nickel-plate cases reload the same as the plain brass ones?
Nickel-plated cases?

If you are referring to the components(bullet, primer, powder amount and primer) yes you can load them the same as non plated brass. Some people claim that nickle plated brass will dull your trimmer quicker which is possible. I don't trim straight walled pistol brass much since they dont seam to stretch before I loose them
after 2-3 firings. Some also say the case mouth on nickle plated brass will develope small cracks before non plated brass does, but I cannot confirm that since my autos send the brass EVERYWHERE

Nickel plated cases are reloadable and my experience has shown:
Nickel cases tend to crack and split at the case mouth long before plain brass.
Little bits of nickel will flake off and stay within the dies and will scratch plain brass.
