WSF is good stuff in 9mm!
I first tried it during the last powder shortage when I was buying anything I could find 9mm load data for.
Had to buy a 4lb jug and was thinking I hope it works out ok.
Now many lbs later (20ish) it is my favorite 9mm powder, works well from mid to high, but does give up some vel on top compared to some other powders.
Some Chrono data I have
5" 9mm 1911, S+B SP mixed range brass, charges as thrown after setting measure
(unless noted otherwise)
Not an RMR bullet but

Most of the tests were looking for a minor PF load for USPSA, WSF is my go to powder for match loads since my 1911 really likes it.
