budshadow Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Has anyone used WST in loading 44 spl and 44 mag using cast bullets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnmyster Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) I know lots of it gets used in light to medium 45 ACP loads under cast SWC projectiles. It is one of the fluffier (higher volume) powders for a given charge/velocity under the bullets I tend to load. Other powders in the same fluffiness ballpark include Clays, e3, 231, etc. I don't see it in the Hodgdon tables, but I do see 231, Clays, HP-38, and Titegroup, which are often used in similar loadings as WST.

mont1120 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I did look it up on the loading tables and it is not listed in the Hodgdon manual. I would be leery of using a powder that the manufacturer does not recommend in any weight or load. It is hard to tell if there might be some odd pressure spikes that might end up causing some serious damage. Contact the powder maker and ask them to be safe.
