WST powder for 9mm Luger
It's interesting,
i've read a number of posts discussing the use of WST powder for hand loading accurate 9mm Luger handgun rounds.
Yet, when i go to the Hodgdon website to confirm the load values related the site does not list WST for 9mm?
I was wondering if perhaps there might have been some problems or concerns with that combination?
Thank you
(BTW, have loaded some 125 gn Zero JHP-C projectiles for 9mm Luger with CFE-pistol powder....and it's proving very accurate)

WST is a favorite for 38spl and 45 auto. I've heard of WSF for 9mm

Re: WST powder for 9mm Luger
I have used WST in light target 9mm loads, specifically with 105 SWC and 135 lead Round Nose. Shot well. I have heard that WST can produce dangerous pressure levels at higher velocity loads, and can go from safe to dangerous very quickly, hence the lack of published data from powder manufacturers. I'd say use at your own risk.

As someone who has a good quantity of WST on hand, it is not a powder I would look at for 9mm. While it “could” work much better options are out in the world. Hodgdon has way better options available for 9mm

VV N320 for 9mm.
Aliant "Sport Pistol" if you could ever find it is very good too.
