are these cases re loadable?

[thetonyage]

i have a couple fired boxes of federals nyclad .38sp. and some speer gold dot .45acp cases. they are both silver in color, i was wondering if anyone knew if they were made out of something re loadable?

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.....

Sweet. Thanks alot guys.
