Does a magnet not stick to nickel?

No it does not. Take a magnet to your coins in your pocket. The story of your life...there is no attraction.

No it won't

No nickel is nonmagnetic. Most nickel shells are brass with nickel plating to prevent tarnishing in leather.

Great. It will be easy to determine if they're steel or nickel then.

I do not load steel cases, they will stress crack from crimp and they are to rough on dies, most not all are berdan primed anyway

These are definitely boxer primed.

+P are better cases designed to withstand more pressure.

Reference? I've never seen any literature indicating the +P cases are any different than standard brass cases. The +P headstamp is simply a visual indicator that the load is hotter than standard.

I've reloaded thousands of +P labeled cases...but only the brass ones. I usually do reload them with my hotter 38 recipes...but that's just a matter of preference. I don't do steel reloads, they have a tendency to stick even in carbide dies.
