If you are reloading and not using a carbine sizer die never, ever use nickle plated cases. The nickle will rub off inside the die and then start to put deep scratches in your cases.

This Is why I always use carbide pistol dies and if I am loading rifle cases I throw all nickle plated rifle cases right in the trash.

I do realize that Hornady has come out with a nitrade coated type of reloading die. Perhaps these might be more resistant to nickle plated cases than plain steel dies.
