Cases easy on extraction, unlike the sticky ones I have encountered with other powders. I use either WST or WSF (depending on case capacity) for subsonic loads in all calibres (9mm 147 gr,300 Blackout 220 gr, .308 220 gr).

Never had 2400 despite reading lots about it. I do however have some each of WST and WSF but have not used any as yet. Are you using published data for them or loads you have developed yourself?
