Over the decades, I have just a few nickel cases that the nickel flaked off the case. Maybe less than the fingers on one hand. But, it does happen.
I have a number of nickel cases where the nickel is wearing off, I assume from tumbling during the multiple reloadings.
They shoot and reload fine and they get transferred to my yellow case pile.
I had a whole batch of Starline 45 colt that flaked on me. I still load it anyway, no big deal.
I like nickel for my carry ammo. It doesn't tarnish as bad being loaded in mags in my pocket for a year at a time.
