Yes guys, I call Winchester WST ball powder rare, becuase I have looked at like 200 sites just to be turned away with the Out of Stock, NO BACK Order signs. I am getting real weary but I must get my hands on it. So please if anyone knows where, let me know. I am also open to be talked out of WST for a more availabe and better powder, but I do love my WST loading 9mm.
 
WST, along with 700x, was one of the last powders that cleared off the shelf here. Now it hasn't been seen for a while.

Funny, how a powder most people wouldn't give a second glance at, now sap it off the shelves in a heart beat. Found that it is a decent powder.

Hope you find yours soon. :)

I know, that wasn't any help to you.
 
It's rare because it's not made any more. At least it's not listed on Hodgdon's site. No data either. Been using Bullseye for eons myself.

I don't where are you looking but Hodgdon site does shows data for it.
 
On the Hodgdon site - go to the bottom of the front page and there is a link to the Winchester powders.

The post above provides the link (www.wwpowder.com)

Hodgdon has restructured their website making it harder to find, but it's there...
 
All the Winchester powders are now showing up in my area locally, WST included. I use Unique for my 9mm loads and there are many suitable powders that can also stand in.
 
Wish I could find a decent load for it, 130 gr 9mm, 165 gr 40SW. My attempts just gave me leading on PC coated.
 
I just picked up a pound of it last month at a LGS. It shoots good in my .45 with 230gr powdercoated bullets.
Of course, since its a good powder, the LGS has not seen any more since!

Anyone know why its whitish grey? I've only used about 6 different powders in my short reloading career but every one except WST has been black.
