Never tried it, and don't intend to because I see no need to. I haven't had an enhanced plastic nozzle break on me yet, so I don't see the need to upgrade to a heavier and harder aluminum nozzle that can potentially increase wear to surrounding components unnecessarily. To me, it seems like suffering too many downsides for an over-engineered product.

Unless you're pushing CO2, I really don't see the need for it.

For what it's worth, ARMY includes "metal" loading nozzles with their TM clones, but these crappy metal loading nozzles are known to BREAK under regular propane use. Saying it is "metal" means nothing alone. These ARMY ones are simply die-cast zinc-aluminum.
