Will not hurt to try to clean the cases but nickel plating is harder and will not polish scratches out like brass cases. k 0 -
No problem, clean them all the time in walnut and corncob media.
Repeated sizing will eventually remove the nickel.0 -
I just put them in with the brass ones. Watch the nickle ones as they crack faster that brass. 0 -

Agree, I have noticed that too. Mine crack right at the case mouth. Cracks up to 1/8 inch.0 -
I tumble my nickel 38spl brass about every third reload...stuff seems to clean itself thru a resizing die[;)]...nickel does tend to be alittle more brittle than brass when it comes to reloading, after about 6 or 7 reloads ...after belling the case mouth check for cracks...my 2 cents 0 -
