I've never seen any nickle cases for a 50. Maybe someone else has. I'd love to see a pic of them, if they exist?

Used them for my M2HB...

A lot of nickel cases were actually "proof" cases, and were used for proof rounds.
They were reported to be thicker and you need to watch for pressure if using standard loads. If they are used cases, the conventional wisdom is to not reuse them. YMMV. |

High pressure test cases are tin plated, not nickel plated.

High pressure test cases are tin plated, not nickel plated. I remembered them as dull nickel, but pulled a couple out and they're tin. Thanks for the correction. |
