I tested WST 124/125 plated RMR and Berry's round nose, between 4.0 to 4.8 grains. They all worked well, with no overt signs of pressure. I settled on 4.4 and 4.5 grains to ensure cycling in all my autoloaders. Good cycling in my Glock 17, 19, 26, and 34, Beretta 92, and several other 9mm pistols. I've also shot them out of my Bushmaster AR in 9, MP5 clone, Beretta CX4 carbine, and Uzi, all with no issues. I loaded to a COAL of 1.15" and for primers I used Tula Small Pistol, Remington 6 1/2 (small rifle), CCI Small Rifle (would not work with striker fired), and Win Small Pistol.
I also loaded lead 122 gr Flat Nose and 130 gr Cone Flat Nose at the 4.5gr as well.
We just shot 300 of those tonight, no issues.
I actually liked the WST and have been pretty happy with it. I'm using it 38 Special, and 40 S&W as well. It's supposed to be pretty good in 45 ACP, but I haven't tried it yet. My only regret is that I only bought one 8# jug last year and I split that 8# with a buddy. He hasn't loaded anything with it yet, and I'm trying to get him to sell the 4#s back to me. I'm down to less than a pound.
It won't load everything W231 does, but it's pretty good in the above calibers.
Try it out, work it up and enjoy!
