--- Quote ---Intruder, do you like the nickle plated better than the copper? --- End quote --- Generally speaking... Yes. I've been told by some folks that are into this a lot deeper than me, that sometimes copper plating is used to cover up inferior shot and that it will still degrade and deform. Supposedly ya can't do that w/ Nickel.... not sure why. Now, I've seen some very good performing copper plated shot. It always seems better than straight lead. But, I have seen some copper that for whatever reason didn't pattern as well. That's when I found out about the whole nickel vs. copper thing. Since then I switched to nickel and haven't had any issues. |

I have reloaded and shot copper plated lead for upland game for a lot of years and I keep hearing about the nickel plate. Looks like I better give it a try. Thanks |
