Hornady TAP cases?

[Scottiep504]

I was wondering if the Hornady TAP silver nickel cases can be reloaded? I'm about to get started reloading and I've been saving the cases but wanted to make absolutely sure those cases could be reloaded. Most people I've talked to say yes but I trust the hide members more than the general public. Thanks in advance

Sir,
Some hate nickel cases. They have a lot of reasons that they are bad. I use them with no problems. Hornady brass is generally very high quality. I would size them and weigh them, if uniform, use them. Some say that the nickel can come off and ruin your die or chamber. I just watch mine and have no problem. Likely not as uniform as top of the line non plated cases due to the coating. JMO

Nickel brass is fine for reloading. It's biggest knockis that it isn't "regular" brass. It is harder and can show wear earlier, especially in the neck, but it works great.

I have loaded nickel cases but the concern is after a while the nickel can flake off and scar the die. A while being multiple resizing.
