Regarding the Hornady Lock-N-Load press:

Question 1: Case Ejector Wire Interference with Non-Hornady Dies
I’ve read a few online reviews and it is mentioned that the Hornady case ejector wire spring can interfere with non-Hornady dies in the 5th station.

Is this still true, or has the bug been worked out by now?

If the bug hasn’t been worked out, what are my options for using non-Hornady dies (i.e. Redding dies)?

Or are the new Hornady "New Dimension" dies good enough for someone who isn't into competition shooting? I just want my reloads quality to be on par with factory range ammunition, and I want the die construction to be high quality and not gimmicky.

Question 2: Nitride vs. Carbide Dies
What are the advantages/disadvantages of Hornady’s “New Dimension”, nitride, titanium coated dies over carbide?

How do the Hornady New Dimension dies compare to Dillons and Redding?

Thank you,

Jake
