There are about a zillion posts on folks trying to duplicate the WWB 45gr JHP ammo, it's possible, but a lot gave up trying and just bought the ammo when it was available, I never tried to duplicate it, have about 450-500 rounds stashed tho!

I've got a load that shoots sub .600" groups at 100 yards.

No clue what the WW will shoot never bought it.

My Handis do not include .223 but I have one in contender pistol. I get 5/8" groups with the white box. This was the best of the factory loads I tried by far. It took a while, but using less than maximum loads, 45 gr Sierra bullets, Varget powder, Norma brass, and a Lee collet die I got  groups down to 3/8". A lot of work for a 1/4" improvement (but it is a hobby).
