Has Anyone Tried WSF in 9mm

[Shield9 Pro]

I got some WSF at the local shop and so far I love it. I think it even does really well with coated bullets no smoke nothing The only thing is that I am have a harder time finding load data for 120 gr bullet impute would appreciated and if anyone has 120 gr load data that would be greatly appreciated as well

And you aren't likely to either. Just use data for 124/125 gr. bullets.

I don't have any yet, but will soon. I got a 4# jug of WSF coming to me from PV. Caught it and Longshot in stock there last week.

Yep, WSF is one of my fav 9 & 40 powders, any bullet type. As noted just use 124gr data.

Spotted a four pound jug of it at the local gunshow today, last day of the show---there was a reason he still had it, actually 160 of them. Insane 40 dollars a pound for powder.

To the op, sorry I have never used the stuff but if you find load data for 125 grain bullets of the same construction (lead or jackets) just use that data as someone said earlier.

 

[Shield9 Pro]

Yeah I kind of figured. That's what I've been doing just thought I would check if anyone had found some new data
Well Darn

You can start around 4.4 grains and work up to 5.0 grains using WSF. This is my single favorite powder for loading 9mm.

I LOVE WSF.

5.4 GR IN THE 115GR FMJ OR JHP.

5.2 WITH THE HORNADY 124 TRUNCATED CONE FMJ.

5.4 WITH THE HORNADY 121GR HAP BULLET.

Man, I appreciate the data guys. My WSF came in today and I happen to have a box of processed brass that needs loading. I also received some of the Berrys 115 Gr HBRN-TP bullets I want to try out too.
