I'm one of the several running the 4.2gr 125gr LRN in a G19/26. Runs great. I've used this for IDPA as well.
3.8gr won't cycle my G26 consitently. 4.0gr seems to just barely. So, I just run the 4.2gr.
Just started to run some CCI SSP mag primers I got cheap, too. Dropped to 4.0gr, no issue. Then, 4.1gr. Both were fine.
I was running a 147gr LTC load that sucked. I think it really needed to be bumped to 3.8gr or more, but I used up my small stash before realizing that.
Solo 1000 is an excellent single-base powder. I like it. Keeps the gun very "cool" compared to Titegroup. Smoke can be hit-and-missed basd on bullet lube, but it seems better overall than double-base powders I've used with lead.
