This is one of those recommendations that is almost obsolete. You would have to look hard to find a steel sizing die for a straight wall pistol cartridge.
I happen to agree, but how do you know? HS6 is the only powder I have shot that would foul the gun to the point of malfunction in one session.
I heard steel dies were making a bit of a come back as some people are looking to manufacture 9mm ammo that doesn't look so much like reloads.
I consistently read stuff like what you said. But fouling to the point where it won't cycle in one shooting range trip is I think the worst I have heard of so far.
I have been using HS6 for at least 15 years in shot shells, 357 and 44mag. It's a little dirty in shot guns but not even close to the worst.
When I started reloading for 9mm about 5 years ago I searched around and quickly found HS6 to be a strong do not use for 9mm. I might try some ridiculous 90gr +P and then some 9mm rounds.
