I have been using it to load major loads for my 9mm USPSA open gun.

I am shooting a 124 Montana Gold CMJ @ 1,400 fps with AC and I like it a lot.

Out of a Schuman barrel with a Bedell Ti comp it makes the gun handle well.

I used a pound of it to load up some .40 S+W. I liked how it worked in the 40 but not the 45 ACP. I would get unburnt powder in my face with moderate loads in the 45 ACP with 185 gr. plated projectiles. I had no luck with it in 38 specials. Stuck a bullet or 2. Never got around to trying it in 357.

I usually work up to mid range loads, and rarely go to max. Maybe the AutoComp would do better in a full throttle 45.

I have been working with some Power Pistol. It seems to work better across the board for me.

The Hodgdon load data is horrible for 45acp. You won't get good results until you go way past the max. Don't waste your money on it.

BTW, Ramshot Silhouette is the exact replacement for WAP.

I picked up a can when powder and primers were in short supply some time back, I loaded a bunch in .38 special under 158gr cast semi wad cutters. It metered as good as ww231. It wasnt bad.
