Interesting. I've not tried it yet but everybody over on Enos raves about the Solo being soft shooting and having little smoke.
I've got a pound of Clays that I've just started playing with in .38 special. Please post up how the 2.8 does.

Another vote for WST w/ lead here. My 147s are so soft, I have to warn people that once you shoot em, youll never want to shoot a high velocity small 9mm again. Ive worked them to where they are just enough to cycle my USP.
G17 with a KKM barrel:
J&K 147 @ 1.14 OAL, 3.4 grains of Solo 1000 = 130 pf
Very Accurate!
After 200 9mm and 300 .40 S&W test rounds I have seen ZERO tumbling with WST... And no leading in either barrel. The smoke is 1/3 what it was with TG as well. The recoil impulse is a nice push rather than a snap as well. The Titegroup works really well for subsonic FMJ's though.
Another change that was made per a suggestion from Lance was to go a little longer on the AOL in order to get the crimp off the shoulder of the bullet and down onto the side as much as possible. All of these little adjustments seem to be working nicely. The true test always seems to be at a match though. lol...
Today I shortend the OAL to 1.13 and got even better results! I think this is THE load.
Rusty, on the FMJ what grain bullet are you running and what OAL?
I've been running 124's and 147's in FMJ's. I can't remember the other stats at the moment but I have them at home. I only run FMJ's with the supressor so my loads are all subsonic...
Let me know when you get home. The info I found was incomplete so what I came up with was 147gr FMJ w/ 3.1gr Titegroup at 1.100 OAL... That was a build up load.
I'm not Rusty, but here are my results with a 147gr Hornady FMJ
G17 - STOCK Barrel - 147gr Hornady FMJ - CCI Primer - 1.15 COL - 3.4gr Titegroup - Average Velocity 914.7 - PF=134,460
This load through an M&P Pro made 132,594 PF
This is my standard IDPA load, accurate and on the softer side. I think I will try a 3.2gr TG load and see how that is.

Think I am going to work the 3.2/.3 for mine as long as they pass muster for USPSA.
