Solo 1000 with 115gr MG

[boomfab]

It seems like a lot of people don't like Solo 1000 for light bullets but I've found it works fine. I like the way my G34 tracks with 115gr ammo way more that the 147gr stuff.

I chronographed some Solo 1000 loads today:

4.4 gr Solo 1000

115 gr Montana Gold hollow points

Federal SP primers

Mixed brass

1.130 OAL

Temperature = 71°

Gun = Glock 34 with factory barrel w/ 13 lb ISMI spring

Average velocity = 1124 FPS

PF=129.2

Max book load is about 4.1 at a slightly shorter oal. You should be fine but I wouldn't bump it up too much from there for a major match or anything like that.

You might try a 124 gr bullet also.

The new data shows 4.2gr as the max with a 115gr.

With 4.2gr I was chronoing at 124 PF consistently.

My dillon reloader has not been accessible for more than a year now (long story).

BUT I just happened to find some 115 MGs (RN) that I loaded over 4.1grns of Solo 1000 some years back; had to use it in my Glock 17 at the match the other night as I am running out of reloaded ammo.

Shot accurately and on point of aim for 125 PF loads & recoil was pleasant enough.

No, I am not switching to 115s (I like heavier minor loads) but this load performed just fine.
