I do a lot of my reloading in nickel plated brass, but I've never done any 'neck down' resizing, hoping someone can help me out a bit.
Does nickel plated brass take necking down well? Does it work harden, spring back, crack, flake, etc? Or does it resize just fine? Does necking down then reaming affect the case negatively?
EDIT: I suppose while I'm asking - if I DON'T use nickel brass, is there any advantage/disadvantage to neck reaming vs. neck turning, or vice versa? (and is that redundant?
