why nickled brass ?

[Blind Dog Jake]

.223 nickle are loaded with 50gr. V-Max and shot in a 14 inch T/C Contender.
.223 L.C. Brass are loaded with 60gr. V-Max and shot in a Ruger #1.
I neck size only -- The Ruger loads will not chamber in the T/C Contender.

It avoids confusion.

In my stash it separates .38 Spl. from .357 Mag. I shoot more 38 than magnum so the 38 is all brass. It's taken me years to pawn all the 38 nickel and 357 brass off on my shooting buddies, exchanging it for my preferences. If they ever catch on...
I should find some nickel .45 Colt brass for bling on my quick-draw rig.

My nickel 303 brit sure strech. made by R.P. strech far more then R.P. brass.
I only use them for the slaying of vampires.

with nickel ?

Just cuz it's purty.
