Since the "speed" of a powder depends on how it is measured, you really have no idea of the relative speed of WST in a pistol loading relative to another powder.
Trying to guess loads based on rough guides of powder relative burning rate is extremely poor reloading practice, and a good way to blow up a gun. There are many proven loads for 147gr 9mm in the loading manuals. WSF and longshot, for example.

I would never use unpublished loads. I was just wondering why there weren't any published loads. He said to me that a great deal of testing goes in to each of these powders, and if no data is published it's because of no good results. Yet, so many people I speak to use and love WST in 9mm.
