Yes, solids should perform about the same as standard copper-jacked rounds. If the round is made out of something that has very low electrical conductivity (like lead) you may have to make the device more sensitive by changing the bullet type setting, but most solids should work with the default settings.

The MagnetoSpeed display unit saves a CSV (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values) file which can be opened by most any spreadsheet program or text editor. If you want to start a new log file, simply use your computer to rename or delete the LOG.CSV file on the micro SD card and a new one will be created. Renaming the file with the date is a good way to keep track of your data.
