    Anyone use WST in .45 Colt?

    Have several jars of WST and would like to use in .45 Colt with a 250gr RNFP sized .452. Anyone using WST as could use help getting started so I don't have to try to reinvent the wheel. I'm thinking 4.5 gr-6.6 gr.

    Use same VOLUME as you would for Bullseye. RCBS Little Dandy Rotor #13 which meters 7.2 grains of Bullseye meters 6.6 grains of WST for standard velocity and pressure with 255-grain Remington lead-conical in .45 Colt matching factory ammo.

    I use an even 6 grs. of WST with a Lee mould 250 RNFP that I HiTek coated and sized to .452". They make a nice "shootin" load out of my Redhawk.
