WSL in pistols?
While at the local sporting good store I noticed they had WSL powder in stock. Is this suitable as a pistol powder in 9mm, 357 mag, and 44 mag?

I've used WSF in the past with .357 Magnum cast, it burns clean but HOT in my experience. It has approximately the same burn rate as Herco IIRC. Accuracy was not too bad from what I recall.
But since it burns hotter than I like for shooting cast, I use Herco instead- in spite of the fact that it makes my firearms look like they took a bath in graphite...!

Winchester SuperLite is suitable for target-velocity 9x19, but a poor performer from most 357 and 44 Magnum loads.
I use it only in 41 Action Express.
