gcambi Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I am a dedicated heavy bullet shooter in 9mm, esp in revolvers. I've been shooting a 158 gr lead bullet with 2.4-2.8 gr of Solo1000. I am most interested in steel shooting. Does anyone have experience with these bullets, particularly with solo 1K? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrywho Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I just started working with the 165s, Solo 1000 is faster then I like to use on a heavy 9mm. The only powder I use in a heavy 9mm is N320. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thompsoncustom Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) Heavy bullets with fast powders make for some super soft shooting loads. If your OAL isnt to short solo 1000 will work fine. Edited June 5, 2014 by thompsoncustom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I just ordered a thousand to play with although don't really have any suitable powder (Clays would be pretty hairy ) so I guess I need to do some horse tradin'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thompsoncustom Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) You can make n310 work(on paper) Shoot me a PM when ur doing load development and I can run it through quickload first Edited June 5, 2014 by thompsoncustom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrywho Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) I just ordered a thousand to play with If you can, when you get them in, please post the lot number from the end of the box and the size of the bullet. The shipment I just got in had a size problem. Edited June 6, 2014 by Jerrywho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtlcafan79 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 These are back in stock again for anyone wondering. I asked xtreme if they had any suggested load data and they said to use Speer data? My Google Fu doesn't turn up much either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I have been shooting 160 gr lead bullets in 9mm for years. I like S1000 as it is very lead bullet friendly. I could not get the 160 gr bullet to stabilize with Clays out of a stock Glock barrel at a 130 PF. Never tried it in a barrel with normal rifling. I have also worked up loads with Promo that shoot well. Shoot me a PM if you want load data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Tompkins Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) For the 165gr Xtreme I've tried W231 (3.1 gr, COL 1.165, Win SPP, mixed brass) and American Select (3.4 gr, COL 1.165, Win SPP, mixed brass) and both deliverd ~130-132 PF. The American Select is a fluffy flake shogun powder and filled the avaialble case volume to ~90% but at I'd get a random low charge due to the large flakes. The W231 was a very low fill factor and metered well but low fill factor made me wonder about consistant ignition. Both shot well and had SD's in the high teens / low 20s. I just got some N350 and plan to try 3.4gr and 3.7gr at COL 1.165 unless someone has some info on a differnt N350 load.
