Just wondered if the titanium nitride dies are good as carbide?
Why do I have to press 1, for English?

I have several sets, and they have worked well. From my experience, I'd say they are at least as good as carbide.

I have loaded thousands of pistol cartridges (Cowboy / SASS usage) and have been unable to discern any appreciable difference between Carbide and Titanium coated dies. I personally like the Hornady bullet seating arrangement, so I tend to favor the Titanium units. That said, SASS shoots are not bench rest competition.

Just bought a set. I'd prefer carbide as I think it's a harder material.

Have 9mm, .38/.357, 10mm/.40 . Have run at least 1000 thru each. Slicker’n snot on a door knob. Only comparable I have are some Lyman carbide .44 dies. Can’t say either is better.
