WST

John0011 · April 1, 2015, 07:38 PM

Just came back from the range, and I must say
Winchester Super Target is some great powder.
I am shooting 40S&W,
loaded some 150gr nosler hollow points (gun doesn't like plated)
and wow what an accuracy improvement over a lightly loaded
CFE Pistol round.
Winchester Autocomp came in second.
Time to get a big jug of WST!!!

Try it in your 45 next.

I have had great success with both WST and WSF. WST for milder 9mm loads and 45, WSF for more full power 9mm loads (it likes to be on the higher pressure side to burn cleanly).

A buddy of mine who got out of reloading many years ago gave me almost full 8# kegs of WST and Unique from the early 90's . Didn't do much with the WST as I thought it was strictly a SG powder. Over the past few years I have been testing some light .40 S&W loads, and also loaded up some light "cowboy" loads for my .460 S&W mag , so far I'm finding out WST is an awesome powder. Not a lot of handgun load data out there so your kinda on your own as far as starting loads..

WST is a great powder, glad I was able to pick up a 4lb jug of it several years back! I use it in .40 and .45
