Accurate's own literature describes Solo 1000 as an extremely fast burning, single-base flake powder noted for clean burning. It remains on Hodgdon's current relative burn-rate chart and is selectable in the Hodgdon Reloading Data Center, and Hodgdon publishes bushing data for it, but it has no listing on Hodgdon's own direct-sale shop, so retail supply runs through distributors.
Burn rate
A fast shotshell-speed powder, charted between Alliant American Select and Alliant Green Dot.
Chart agreement: consistent, but single-publisher - ranked only by Hodgdon (and echoed by the Wolfe/LoadData compilation). No second manufacturer's chart carries it, so the position is uncorroborated. Ranked by: Hodgdon, Wolfe/LoadData.
Powders charted near it — neighbours on the chart are not substitutes, and adjacency tells you nothing about what charge either one takes:
- Hodgdon High Gun (position 18)
- Hodgdon Titegroup (position 19)
- Alliant American Select (position 20)
- Alliant Green Dot (position 22)
- Winchester Super Target (WST) (position 23)
- Hodgdon Trail Boss (position 24)

Verify the charge, not just the recipe
Good data gets you a safe starting point. It does not tell you what actually went into the case on stroke 340 — a bridged measure, a double charge, a squib. That is what an RCM Laser Powder Check is for.
