Just got a 8 lb jug of solo1000 from a friend . Have never used it . Looks to be same class as my current Red dot . According to bushing charts it appears to be a denser powder. I am using Cb1118 wads and 17.6 grain Red dot now 1 1/8 oz shot in rem hull . Will I need to change wads to get proper crimp?

I looked at the bushing chart and the powder appears to be the same density as Clays, which is just a bit more dense than Red Dot. I don't think it will cause much, if any, dishing in the crimps.

I wish I could still get Solo 1000

I notice it it is listed as out of stock every where I looked . Has it been discontinued?

I have not seen it available for some time. What does your container say about the country of manufacture?

Accurate still publishes data for it.

Scroll to pages 98 and 99, of the manual, and you'll find some data, for STS hulls with CB-1118 wads:

I seem to recall hearing they rejected a shipment on quality grounds.

I still have approximately 20 lbs to use.

love the SOLO 1000

 

[happyshooter]

Not sure how old it is . Might be fairly old the phone # to western powders is not an 800# also received about 6lb of 700x in the old steel keg . So I am guessing it is quite old . Both powders smell fine . Looking forward to shooting this powders.

Interesting, at least the front label does not list the country of manufacture.

19.0 grains in a STS or Nitro 27 hull with Windjammer Wad 1 1/8 oz shot and a Cheddite primer will get you 1180 fps and the softest shooting shell you will find ever and its a target crusher!

I have one 25 pounder left of the classic composition. It's all I shot for years. If I remember right its burn rate is somewhere around green dot. Be aware they changed the manufacturers and burn rates several times. If you call accurate I've found them very helpful. I'm sure they can help you out.

Never used it. How long has it been since it was discontinued?

 

[sts1100]

I don't remember exactly , but sometime before 2010, with some suppliers selling in stock supplies after. I used to buy it in a cardboard drum which contained 16.5 lbs of Solo 1000, still have a couple of empty ones in the garage.

 

[bobby ward]

Last batches of Solo 1000 were made in and imported from Spain...The last 3 batches didn't pass inspection here in the states and were refused. That is the last I heard of Solo 1000

I believe solo 1000 and solo 1250 were first introduced in the late 80's or early 90's by Scot powders. just going on memory.
