[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3801280, member: 15054"] Nickle plating reflects the heat a little more than plain brass and will take just a tick longer to get to temp. You can take a Sharpie brand permanent marker I use Black in my testing. Draw a line down the case from the case mouth to past the shoulder. Anneal until the sharpie line disappears from the neck. If you want the shoulder annealed a bit you can hold it just a wee bit longer 2 seconds. I have done hundreds of nickle plated cases no issues. I anneal all my rifle brass every time. Not for keeping the life in the case but for accuracy. For my .308 cases I have not had any split a neck and have fired cases over 50 times not annealed. Case head separation has been the death of all my .308 cases that gave up on me. The testing I did was with these brands. Remington, Lapua, Winchester and Federal. Winchester and Lapua are my go to for best accuracy in my .308 rifles. [/QUOTE]
