Just thought I'd share my results from my first experience with WST and 9mm.
First of all I don't have a chroney so this is personal feedback.
S&S 125gr lrn
Federal once fired brass
Federal primers
Glock 22 w/lonewolf conversion barrel
First loads were 4.3gr OAL 1.095
Pistol cycled fine
Recoil was noticeably lighter than the American Eagle 115gr that I was using to compare and accuracy was down.
Went to 4.4gr OAL 1.13
Recoil firmed up and accuracy was much better.
Notes: I wanted to use WST because of reports of less smoke with lead. There was a little smoke but nothing like I've had with other powders.
I was shooting at an 8 inch target at 25 yds. I'm not an expert marksman but with the 4.4gr load I put nearly every shot in the target. For me that really good.
