Default Annealing Ni plated brass

So I built an annealer a little while ago to help with making the ridiculously expensive Weatherby brass last longer and perform better.
My nephew shoots a 308 win and asked about annealing his plated brass just for the bonus of consistent next tension.

All the research that I've done gives me mixed reviews.
To my knowledge, 750-800° isn't enough to temper the nickel so I'm not too worried about hardening, but some have said that it flakes off of the brass after heat treating.
Any first hand experience with this?
