I’m a little late to the party, but this is a good video for people questioning on nickel plated shot.

I bought some number six nickel plated shot from BPI a couple years ago and used it for turkey hunting. I had a bunch of feathers they got sucked into the meat from the number six shot. It worked just fine BUT it’s not very hard shot. Plain old cheap magnum lead shot is way harder…and penatrates deeper. Next time I’ll buy some from Prescion to try since the video above says it’s the SAME hardness as plain old non plated magnum lead shot. Really no reason to waste the extra money since plain old Magnum non plated lead shot is just as hard. Nickel might give a little better patterns but imo not enough to matter. Imo todays modern nickel plated shot is a Gimmic.
