Redding reloading dies use a ring of Titanium Carbide instead of the typical Tungsten Carbide to do the actual sizing operation. Redding claims titanium carbide has a rounded grain structure that results in a smoother, slicker finish than tungsten carbide. I use their Pro series for 45 ACP, 41 Magnum, 44 special and 32 H&R Magnum. The Pro series comes with the Profile Crimp die and seperate seating dies, and I use a Lyman "M" die for the expanding operation.

TiN usually refers to Titanium Nitride, which is used as a coating on drill bits etc as well as steel re-loading dies. It's supposed to have all of the benefits of using a carbide insert in the sizing die [no lubing etc], with the benefit of being able to do tapered and bottle-neck cases as well as straight case calibers. The TiN coating is available from CH4D for dies you already have, standard dies from CH4D and they also do custom dies.
