Solo 1000 WAS MADE IN SPAIN, and has been made in numerous countries over the years. Yes, there is a distribution problem, since you can't distribute a powder that is NO LONGER BEING MADE! Western has been having a heck of a time finding someone to make the powder for them for the past several years. You can't just replace a powder with particular characteristics with another powder from a different manufacturer with different characteristics and give it the same name, without having potential handloading problems.
