Welcome to the forum.
I'm not immediately spotting any data for it. Since Winchester powders are now distributed by Hodgdon, I'd call them for an opinion. 913-362-9455. Or email help@hodgdon.com.

My luck
Yeah, probably isn't any, since they've got some to sell. Ha.

I thought I saw someone mention that Powder Valley had WST in stock. Are you loading .45 ACP? Lately, I've been using WST in 9mm loads with 124 gr. JHPs with very good results and over 100% load density. Hodgdon doesn't have load data and I don't believe they even recommend it for 9mm. Nevertheless it works very well and IMO, they already have enough powders they recommend in 9mm, that they may think that market is pretty well saturated. I was able to come across some older data from Winchester posted at www.stevespages.com. WST works great for cast bullet loads in .45 ACP, but it's pretty limited in performance with jacketed bullets. A powder I also use for everything from light cast bullet loads to JHP loads that will exceed factory velocity is Ramshot ZIP. It has a burn rate similar to W231/HP38, but gives better performance and burns cleaner.

Just ordered 8 pounds of Unique from these folks. We'll see how it goes.
