Yes. They are reload friendly.

They should both be brass, although they are nickel plated to resist corrosion.

To be really sure, try to remove the spent primers and inspect the primer cup.

Yep, nickel coated brass. I find them to cycle easier in my press than plain brass ones, even with carbide dies.

From what I have heard though they don't last as long.....
