    Nickel plated is prettier! I don't care what the case is as long as the ammo is reliable. As many have stated SD ammo tends to have the nickel cases, because it is more corrosion resistant. About the only case I avoid is steel, just because I can.

    SD ammo being nickel plated doesnt have anything to do with corrosion.
    Its mostly because nickel is a far slicker surface and reduces feeding problems when it counts.

    Sometimes they are better in stainless steel.

    I do like it for my old .38 but just cause it looks better as does not tarnish.

    Dudes,
    I know the difference between brass and nickel plated brass.
    I know the stated differences between the two casings.
    I am curious to know how many dudes here prefer to use nickel plated casings in their semi auto pistols (presumably for a smoother feed).
    As a subcategory, I am particularly interested to know if the active and retired LEOs here prefer to run brass or nickel plated brass.
    All relevant commentary is appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Bern-
    Lot o Dudes in there. You poop yet?

    The frozen bullets are cool, but I want my ice cubes to melt to cut the whiskey a bit.

    I have no preference between brass and nickle plated brass- both work fine for me.

    I accidentally (cuz I'm a dumbass) bought steel cased Winchester 9mm at Walmart. I can't get that shit into my double stack mag more than 5/row deep. Too much friction I guess?
