    Not a bad idea, either. A double charge of fast burning powder will ruin your day.

    My experience is that the nickle cases develop cracks at the case mouth sooner than unplated cases. My guess is that it work hardens faster than brass.

     My experience is that the nickel cases develop cracks at the case mouth sooner than unplated cases  Same here. I have several thousand nickel-plated UMC cases gathered from police ranges back in the sixties. It is good for only two or at most three reloads before the case mouth fails. Moreover, I've seen some very spectacular failures in these cases. Several of them have come out of the cylinder in pieces. There is no way I'd use them in a semiauto.
