Nickle cases
Dose nickel cases handle high pressure loads better then brass or is it just good for making the round chamber smoother?

It's primarily for corrosion resistance. Nickel is less susceptible to corrosion in inclement weather/harsh conditions. Remington UMC aside, notice it's mostly carry or hunting ammo that's nickel plated.
Oh, it looks nice too.

Th has no effect on how much pressure it can hold. The nickel case is just brass with a thin layer of nickel over it.

Alright thanks I just loaded a box of 22-250 with a max load and I wasn't 100% sure if they was stronger so I figured I would ask because I don't want to use the same load in brass if I couldn't tell if there was pressure damage to the Nickel case

Sometimes nickel cases will scratch your reloading dies.

Once your sizing die is scratched(no matter how it happens) it will leave marks on every case you put thru it. Can still be used but your cases look ugly among other things.

Just watch it tho. The nickel might start to flake off after a few reloads.
