I just bought 100 nickel plated .308 cases any special prep before loading these puppies?

you didnt say if they were new or once fired.....assuming they are new, shouldnt have to do anything other than MAYBE run them through the sizer to square up the necks. If they are once fired, then proceed the same way you would with once fired brass......no real difference, except you may see different flakes when you trim to length.

You might want to check length.

So it is size and trim as usual?

BTW they are new R P cases. Look very cool can't wait to load them.

because of the plating process its good to resize them and deburr the neck inside and out. vangunsmith
