Nickel roundcore strings?

Do you know any? So far I only found the TI Jazz Rounds... If anyone has any clips with such strings, that would be nice too.

Almost everyone makes them...

Me personally I prefer S.I.T. Power Nickel's or Silencer's which are smooth sounding Nickel strings.

Nickel roundwound, yes. But not nickel roundwound with roundcore.

Power Nickels -> hexcore
Silencer-> hexcore again

I'm pretty sure the TI Jazz Rounds are also pure nickel. The Sunbeams and Dean Markley NPS Roundcore are nickel plated though.

Besides, aren't the only roundcore Pyramid strings flatwound? (I like flatwounds, esp. the TI Jazz Flats which are also nickel flatwounds with a round core, but right now I'm looking for nickel roundwounds with a round core)
