OK, well all of my experience is with carbide dies and pistol brass. I have never tried any rifle brass that was nickel.
No issues here.
I have nic coated federal safari cartridges in 'big boy toy' size ranges like 416 rigby.
They resize like you might expect.. clean and lube case, resize, measure, trim.. etc.
The biggest issues I see with hard resizes are, in order I have seen them ( anyway ):
1, bad lube technique
2, liberal chamber, unsuported chamber, and some semi and full auto actions that let the case expand more than normal.. and thus it takes more force to resize.
3, worn dies. rough, unfinished, scratched, etc, or even not cleaned between switching incompatible lube types.
All the problems are addative too.
forget to lube an oversized cartridge and jamb it up in a rough die and yeah.. I imagine you then get to find out how to use a stuck case extractor...
Many people forget that there are some incompatibilities in lubes and you really should clean your dies.
