Winchester powder data is no longer shown by Winchester for 16 gauge shotshells. At one time I bought 452AA and 473AA for 12 and 20 gauge, and at that time there were 16 gauge loades for both. Both powders were subsequently discontinued.
However, in the mid nineties the Winchester data manuals listed some 16 gauge loads using their new WSF powder. Is WST also a suitable powder for 16 gauge loads? Where can I find load data? |

Here is what is out on the OFFICIAL web
http://www.wwpowder.com/
WST is only specified for the 12 gauge loads on this site

| I have a Winchester manual from 1993. For 16ga there are a few WSF loads but no WST loads listed. |

| WST is a replacement for Win 452AA. It is rated close to International as far as speed. You could probably work up some loads using 452 recipes and get them tested. |
