Bonanza , I like nickel plated cases for enything, and yes they are less prone to sticking in the chambers! The 375 H&H nickel plated rounds are what I use in my bolt rifles in Alaska's incessant rain. A non plated brass will, many times, stick in the chamber of a rifle, so tight that it is almost imposible to open the bolt. The corrosion builds fast when water seeps into the chamber. I have a friend who uses a SAKO pushfeed 375 H&H, useing un-plated brass, and his rifle went out of service with a stuck bolt, after hunting in the rain for about 15 hours. the bolt was too tight, and with the added sticky case, we couldn't open the rifle. My old FN Mauser, with the plated cases, worked like it had been soaked with oil, instead of rain!

I load for several double rifles,some with pretty large brass, and I wish someone would start makeing nickel plated brass for some of them.
