School me on 9 MM Lugar. Is a Glock 19 9 MM luger ?
I was given a set of Hornady 9mm Lugar dies that have Titanium Nitrate insert in the sizing die, does this make it like a carbide die, no lube needed ?
The correct words are: Titanium "Nitride". Titanium Nitride is a ceramic, usually applied over Tungsten Carbide (but there are some 100% Titanium Nitride cutter inserts used in industry). It has a Goldish hue and is harder than Tungsten Carbide. Such inserts require no lubrication when sizing brass casings save for those dies made for .30 Carbine. However, when it comes those dies that advertise "Titanium Nitride", I don't know if the sizing insert is Totally Titanium Nitride or Tungsten Carbide coated with Titanium Nitride. I suspect the later....dies that have Titanium Nitrate insert in the sizing die, does this make it like a carbide die, no lube needed ?
