When I learned to see it, many years ago, we were using a lot of White Gold shells which contained their proprietary shot, called Diamond Shot, that appeared to be nickel plated but is just polished in some manner to give it a glossy shine. That probably helped us to see it, too, as you mentioned.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
