Teacher Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Got 8 LBS of Solo 1000 left. Wanting a powder charge to start with, then work my way up. 115 grain round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belus Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Wrong subforum, but I think 3.8gr could start you off with a 115. Final load might be around 4.2. This is based on my 132pf load of 3.8gr pushing a 130gr coated bullet from 2009. If I remember right Solo 1000 had some difficult keeping the burn rate constant between lots.

1time Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Holy cow, how long have you been sitting on that? Western Powders shows 3.4 to 4.4 using Berry's plated 115 round nose at 1.130 and 3.6 to 4.6 using sierra 115 fmj at 1.100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teacher Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share Posted August 15, 2020 For about 15 years or so!!!! Thanks for all your help. This will give me a starting point. I was going to order primers last night for both rifle and pistol. And I can't find Federal gold medals anywhere. CRAZY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
