.300 WSM - Nickel-plated cases?

[DW58]

I've seen photos of nickel-plated .300 WSM cases - can anyone tell me which make these are and where I could obtain some?

 

Thanks.

Winchester make them,never seen them for sale,only as factory loads.Winchester supremes i believe they're called.150 ballistic silvertips.Bought 100 years ago,very impressed with them but very pricey.FWIW i did reload them but most split on third firing,they are very hard to work,seemed very brittle,just use bog standard winchester brass now.Can't fault it.

Thanks Paul - if they don't re-load well they're of no use to me.

 

Thanks.

 

I guess the search is over.

Although they look NICE , they donot reload well , and I get the impression that they maybe not the best with hot loads , as brass expands and also grips the chamber walls , where as I feel the nickel coating , makes them slippery , not what I want when dealing with high pressures in modern rifles .

 

In pistols I feel the nickel cases are a better option , that the rifle use , as lower pressures and usually straight cases , they do still reload a bit harder , as the nickel is harder , so carbide or lube them .
