Anybody with any Pro or Con experience with them as compared to carbide?

Greetings. I've used Hornady Titanium Nitride pistol dies. The stuff works fine.
Best.

The only negative experience I've had with them is when using nickel plated brass. After loading several thousand nickeled 38 Supers, my Hornady dies were scratched inside, and then scratched all my other brass too. This could also happen with carbide, I don't know that they would work any better with nickel. I don't have much use for nickeled cases anymore.
