On the Hodgdon site they have the 200 grain Speer JHP in .45 ACP seated to a rather stubby 1.155", in a Winchester case with a Federal 150 primer and using 4.6 grains of WST to start, and 5.1 grains as maximum.

I don't see 9 mm loads for WST. Only for WSF, which is slower and uses about a third more charge weight in the .45 ACP. It looks to me like the charges of WST for 9 mm would have to be pretty small, especially with the short seated XTP (1.060" COL from Hornady's manual). It's possible it's one of those powders that gets peaky as you get to higher pressures and in small spaces, and it may just not be a good choice for your application. I don't know from experience with it, though, since I don't run 9's. Perhaps someone else has had some.
