Sarge Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) I have been reading for two days. I have two days worth of varying opinions crammed in my head. I am asking for some help sorting them out. CAN I SAFELY MAKE 135PF WITH Solo 1000 and a 124 MG FMJ out of a stock G34? I have some TG and n320 but I have 8lbs of s1000 I want to use. If you could post load data it would be a huge help so I can crank some out and hit the chrono. Before you suggest another search or post a link, remember that I have probably read them and it is pretty evenly split whether it is a good combo or not. Thanks in advance!

calishootr Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 one of my books is showing 4.1 grs of solo 1000 on a hornady FMJRN will give 1028 fps....now i dont know if that is a starting load or a maximum load... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 I saw that. But that is only 127. I need to get closer to 1100 to clear 135. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougCarden Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 If you are loading out to at least 1.135 or up to 1.150, which would probably be max, I think you will have no problem. From reading the old manuals they were loading at 1.050 max or real close to it. Work your load up and you should not have a problem. I worked up loads with Solo 1000 and a 160gr LRN at 1.135 and it was fine up to 135PF, so I have to think you wont have a problem. I would definitely try it and see what happens. Good luck, DougC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Are you mapping your loads over a chrono? (I hope ) If your OAL is in the 1.125" to 1.129" area you "should" be hitting a sweet spot around 4 grs. Start at 3.6 and work up slow, a 1/10th at a time. Use a 1.125 OAL and check for pressure signs. I like this Solo 1000 stuff so far. You do have a chronograph, right? Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Keen Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 You do have a chronograph, right? If you don't Miamisburg has one you can borrow, and I have one you can borrow as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Hello: Try 4.1 grains of Solo 1000 and a 1.140 OAL that should be about 140PF or so through your G34 with the 124's. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Yes, I have a chrono. I had targeted around 1.13-1.14 so this is looking better than I thought. I just read so many posts that said guys were not able to make minor with the combo I want to run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Eric Thanks, I was thinking 4 would be ballpark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWFAN Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Im sure you read this one, but someone called Accurate and was told that 4.1 S1K, 1.130 124FMJ was safe, even though its well above published max. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=98728 Let us know what you find out and what works!
