    nickel plated brass ammo

    I have a few boxes of some Winchester Ranger T-Series ammo (which I believe is nickel plated brass). A bunch of the ranges around the area doesn't allow aluminum or steel cased ammo. Is there any way of proving to them it is indeed nickel plated brass short of having them call up Winchester customer service and verifying?

      If they can't tell the difference between aluminum, steel and nickel they've got real problems.
      The thing with firearms is that they are not like any other consumer product, simple ownership of one carries a lot of responsibility.

      Some idiots are too busy knowing it all to ever learn anything

        How do you tell the difference between the nickel-plated and aluminum ones? They look the same to me (unless all my "aluminum" ones are really nickel-plated...).

        EDIT: Nevermind, I'm a retard. What I thought was Aluminum was nickel-plated. I just assumed it was aluminum because it was shiny like aluminum foil.

                the price should be a hint. And if your range ammo is ranger, i wanna be your range buddy. I will pick up all your brass for you. I likes the shiny ones.
