+1 on the 550B if you even think this is going to be a steady habit. If you don't like it you'll easily get your money back when you sell it. :-)
When you get done with the WST powder and think you are going to want to experiment with something else, After years as a dedicated Bullseye user I recently switched to Clays. 3.6 to 3.8 under a 230 grain bullet and I am a happy man.

I went from WST to clays and back. Clays shot soft but SD was never great and there's a lot more play in the throttle with WST. I recently picked up some Titegroup to play with but am detouring to Lugerville for a while.

Tried Tightgroup and it was great except that it burns HOT, HOT, HOT. In quick moving classes guns get literally to hot to handle, especially revolvers.

- UPDATE -
- I'm not blown up
- They shot very softly, huge difference from factory ammo
- Accurate, but the gun shoots a little right. Confirmed with an actual instructor and compared to a Glock 17 and a Beretta 92
- I am the worst pistol shooter known to man
- I had two malfunctions in 100 rounds: both were failures to fully chamber a round. A slight pull backward on the slide had the round fully chambered. The pistol was dry, meaning there was no lube/grease on the gun. The gun was dirty from a 200 round factory session from the previous week, and not cleaning it after a PRS match with lots of New Mexico sand and wind.
So, now I go grease shopping and I cleaned the hell out of the gun. I lubed it with FrogLube CLP while I find out what lubricant works best. Rails, hammer, barrel, recoil spring all god a healthy does of the FrogLube....other than that, any ideas as to why the gun had those malfunctions? Mags were Tripp Cobra mags, 8 rounders.
Thanks,

Could be lube or ammo is too light.
First place I would check after that is the recoil spring.
