[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1566690, member: 28965"] Depriming with a universal depriming die allows you to clean the cases before sizing and reduces the chances of scratching your dies and brass. I started wet tumbling and using a universal depriming die after getting semi-auto rifles and pistols. When the brass lands on the ground it can pickup dirt and grit and I was always scratching my .223 dies. And wet tumbling with SS media scrubs the cases and primer pockets clean. All my rifle bushing dies are steel but I have one 9mm pistol die with a titanium nitride coating. And a carbide pistol die has a smoother surface. This is only one die but the titanium nitride coating is a plating and this coating on my die is rough and scratches the 9mm cases if the case is not lubed. Bottom line, the titanium nitride coating on the bushing was designed to size the case neck without any lube. Meaning the coating should be as hard and smooth as carbide, and this depends on the quality of the plating done. [/QUOTE]
