Just remember Titegroup is a fast powder that's known for pressure spikes, and 40s&w is a high pressure round. I would start at the minimum, and approach mid range slowly. I would stay away from the max load. I used TG for a while in my 40s&w match gun, but stopped using it after seeing a M&P 40, and G22 KB a couple years ago. It performed very well, but WST performed just as well without the spikes.

Sorry for the hijack...
Do you have any loads for WST with a 180grain lead bullet?
You can reference the load data for Berry's plated TCFP bullet listed under BERB - http://data.hodgdon.com/cartridge_load.aspquiknot said:40 S&W 165gr rnfp copper plated bullet ... titegroup powder.
While 1.125" will work with both Berry's RNFP/TCFP bullets in most pistols, if you are loading for Glocks, barrels will accommodate longer OAL out to 1.149" so use the longest OAL that works for your pistol/barrel.165 gr BERB FP Titegroup OAL 1.125" Start 4.5 gr (960 fps) 24,300 PSI - Max 5.1 gr (1060 fps) 31,800 PSI
My personal favorite is 4.6gr of Bullseye. Makes for a very light-recoiling and yet accurate round. Being that TG is right below Bullseye on the burn rate chart, I'd recommend starting right around 4.6gr and see how it does.
