HELPFUL INFORMATION
PrecisionBrass.net currently has a generous stock of Nickel plated .223 brass. Nickel typically doesn’t tarnish like yellow brass and if you’re going to carry loaded ammo somewhere exposed, or if you will be loading/unloading your carry ammo into a magazine multiple times, then nickel plated brass casings for your ammo may be exactly what you need.
Law enforcement uses nickel brass for “duty” or “carry” rounds and it may be something you are interested in doing as well! Nickel plated cases looks bright and shiny, and that means you really only need to tumble to the point of it being clean, rather than to get a specific polish for appearance.
Precision brass.net offers nickel .223/5.56mm nickel brass polished and unpolished Nickel is typically slightly “slicker” than yellow brass and can be beneficial for any feeding ramp issues you may encounter. This can be a benefit in a semi-auto platform.
Nickel is resistance to corrosion and nickel plated cases can be good for reloaded ammunition cases that you plan to put on the shelf for an extended period of time, rather than shooting them right away. Nickel plated cases can crack/fail more quickly than yellow brass cases, and that the nickel plating can flake off in the sizing die and can scratch your other cases. We recommend applying a Lubricant to your cases which will lower the likelihood of flakes in your dies.

Financially you will save a lot of money! More important however is you can customize your ammo.
Made specifically for your firearm to the specs that you need means better accuracy. When you purchase ammo from the factory it is typically made to fit a variety of different guns. One size fits all is just not going to cut it for the Precision that you need. Customizing your own ammo allows you to get the best performance out of your bullets .
Handloads will typically be more accurate with brass that’s been fired at least once in the exact rifle you intend to load for. This is because once fired, the brass is expanded to the exact contour of the chamber in your rifle.The easiest step in handloading precision rifle ammunition is carefully measuring your rifle’s chamber/lead dimensions and then optimizing your bullet seating depth when seating bullets.
With special tools you can calculate a bullet seating depth that will minimize the distance the bullet travels forward before engaging the rifling in the barrel.
We take Reloading Brass very seriously because we know you want the best possible chance of accuracy.

Most duty ammunition is all large primer pocket .45 ACP, and large primer .45 is still the most desired primer pocket out of the two options, because of it’s capabilities and availability through precisionbrass.net.
Obviously, all safety precautions should be taken when reloading.

Commercial brass is great for 95% of most people who reload. Most shooters who shoot common calibers like .380, .38 special, 9mm, ..40 S&W, .45 ACP, .223/ 5.56 mm and .308/ 7.62X51mm are guys training, hunting, doing target practice or spending time with friends and family out on the range.
The .38 Special was actually developed by lengthening the .38 Long Colt Round. The bullets were not very accurate during the Spanish American War in 1898 . It’s hard to believe but the first .38 specials were loaded with black powder! Within a year that changed.
What you are looking at is the first Model M&P revolver created specifically for the .38 cartridge. Designed in 1899 and left the factory in 1900 . There is of course the famous Smith & Wesson Model 10 in .38 Special produced in 1899 seen below.
What makes the .38 Special so special? Because of it’s black powder heritage, the .38 Special is a low pressure cartridge, one of the lowest in common use today! As you probably already know the .38 Special is particularly popular among handloaders.
The cartridge’s straight walls, headspacing on the rim, ready availability of previously-fired cases, and ability to be fired in .357 Magnum firearms, all contribute to this popularity. For reloading and once fired brass please click here
