Another thing I noted but don't know if it will make a difference is the rough and uneven texture inside the case necks of Nickle plated brass. Others have said I am OCD and not to worry about it. Best advice is since I am not capable of not worrying about it I might as well go ahead and try to fix it.
Next round of testing will have some plain necks, some given a quick swipe of emory cloth, and another reamed with the standard forester inside reamer. It will keep me busy and is good for the bullet and powder manufacturers. By the time I have all real or imagined issues resolved probably be time to chuck that lot of Nickle cases.

Shot at an answer for Tejano on why I don't fool with Nickle brass. Tejano depending of how bad it is I put a bronze bush in a slow speed cordless drill and brush the necks out. If that doesn't satisfy me I will take one a size smaller and wrap it with 00 steel wool and do the same thing. I'm opted more on the steel wool makes them look pretty smooth, but I always brush my necks before sizing.

I have noticed between same maker, brass vs. nickel, that the brass neck thickness varies less than the nickel,IME.

Johnw: I have used nickel plated brass for more than 30 years now, in dozens of Rifles and calibers.
As of today I am reloading nickel plated brass in 8 different Rifles.
I have heard "rumors" for the past 3+ decades that nickel plated brass causes all manner troubles and damages - I have as yet to encounter my first negative attribute to this type of brass.
I like it in fact!
I use it mainly to identify (or dedicate) brass to a particular Rifle of which I have more than one caliber in.
I would say no big advantage to the use of nickel plated over standard brass - and I would also say there are no disadvantages either.
