How do you guys clean your nickle brass?

Same as brass brass. Why?
30 minutes in 20/40 corn is more than good enough.
Can tell you, don't use anything with ammonia in it.
I'll tell you why I don't buy nickel cases:
1) They tend to fail by cracking at the neck or body much faster than brass cases
2) They have left nickel deposits in my sizing die and produced "racing stripes" down the sides of the cases until I noticed. Had to really scrub the carbide ring to get it all out.
If I had to have a way to tell S.D. ammo from std. ammo, I might buy nickel factory S.D. rounds, maybe.
If all we had were nickel cases, a lot of folks would think that brass cases were the "bees knees" to wow their friends. We love different.
