I will use WSF in 9 mm when I want mid range to max loads. It doesn't do all that great below mid-range. I load with jacketed bullets and not lead. I would think hard case lead shouldn't be any problem. I do prefer WST even with jacketed bullets. I also will use the same data for 124 and 125 grain bullets and will interchange them. This is providing the profile is similar. If you weight some bullets you might have unless they are match grade you might find they will vary a full grain from max to min. I have used WST to load .45 with 185 grain JHP bullets to major levels. It pushing this powder to the limits but it does work.
