45ACP loaded with WST

[cajun 48]

Specifically, 45ACP (full size M&P) bullet: dardas 200 lswc. would WST be a good powder? I know it's a bulky powder typical 5gr load net almost a full case (zero chance for double drop w/o a major mess). Is it dirty burning?
help is always appreciated. aj b

WST is pretty clean. It's also fast (like many good .45 ACP powders) and fairly bulky for a fast powder.

I've never burned any in .45, but have used a lot in .40 for target loads. I like it.

I like WST with 45 a lot. It meters well, burns clean, and very accurate in my pistol. I have shot both 200 and 230 gr. lead very successfully using it.

Have not shot it with any copper jacketed bullets though.

WST is my go to powder for .45ACP. Very clean.

WST is by far the best powder I have ever used in my 45's and I have used a lot. It's clean, it's soft shooting and it is scary accurate.

Work up to 5.2 grains Super Target, don't look back. Shot 1000's of em.

When Olin replaced the old 452AA powder with WST I switched to WST and it is the best .45 ACP powder I have found. Very clean, very efficient, and yup, scary accurate. I also have had very good luck with Bullseye and Red Dot but the WST is definitely the cleanest burning.
