It's cheaper at first glance, but a lot like washing your hands with turpentine; it'll gets looks from people that know better, and eventually it'll ruin that which is most important to you.

I dont like steel cased in any of my guns. Steel is so rough compared to brass. Also why I like nickel cases the most because they are the most slick. Dont think ive seen nickel cased 556 tho.

Yeah, steel cases are for non-enthusiasts.

Hornady makes nickle plated 5.56 rounds/cases. Found some spent ones at my range last year and have reloaded them a few times since.

Nosler, Sig, and Silver State Armory make nickle cased 5.56 in addition to Hornady.
Personally, I only shoot Lake City, Hornady and FBI overruns for Factory loads in my DDM4 V9, and my own handloads using Lake City or Hornady brass.
