That's typical of the fast burners like Bullseye, VV310, and the like.
Few reloaders have had success with WST in 9mm and I can't recommend it. For .357, you've got too much air for a too-fast powder.
I see data for .40 S&W, but I'm surprised.
Use it where you'd use Bullseye and it'll do a nice job. It's consistent, clean, and quiet- really.
I can also practically guarantee less felt recoil in your .45 over Unique and Titegroup and powders like that- I tried it in a side-by-side test.
