Anyone use WW Autocomp and 9mm cast bullets

Howdy,
I have the data from Hogdon on the Autocomp powder but I'd like to hear from anyone who is using it with 9mm cast bullets.
How much are you loading? How do you like it? Clean or dirty? Does your load run about the same FPS as advertised in the charts?
All the good stuff.
Thanks a million
Mike
Since the above post I loaded up 50 rounds at 5 grains and Mo. Bullets 125 grain small ball. I ran them through a 1911 with a Kart EZ fit bbl and Gann two chamber comp w/ 8 pound spring. My steel set up.
The gun ran fine and shot into 1 1/2" at 25 yards standing.
I did not chrono these but they feel like they are making more power than 3.7 Bullseye steel loads.
No pressure signs what so ever.
So far so good. I'll post a FPS when I get one.
Thanks
Mike
