­The N120 rifle powder by Vihtavuori works great in small calibers with light bullets and in short barrel rifles, especially in .222 Remington and 7,62×39. Formerly known as N 21, the powder is well-known and used also by the Finnish Army. The burning speed of N120 is fast in the scale of rifle powders, slightly slower than that of the N110. Vihtavuori N120 needs higher pressure than N110 in order to optimize the burning. The grain size is actually the smallest in the Vihtavuori rifle powder family: only 0,8 mm length and 0,6 mm diameter. As with other small sized powders, this makes the loadability and use in powder measures super easy. Vihtavuori N120 gunpowder is used by many sport shooters, short-range target shooters and small game hunters.

Other Important Information:

• Do not exceed the loads displayed in the reloaders guide.
• Never mix any two powders regardless of type, brand, or source.
• Never substitute any smokeless powder for Black Powder or any Black Powder substitute.

The N100 series powders are single base powders used mainly in rifle calibers. Vihtavuori’s N150 multipurpose rifle powder is one of their most popular reloading products. It is commonly used with heavier bullets in accuracy loads and hunting loads in cartridges with middle case volumes, like the .30-06 Springfield, the .308 Winchester and the 6,5×55 SE. The N150 is one of, if not the best, all-rounder powder for European hunting calibers. N150 is a tubular powder type with grain dimensions of 1,3 mm length and 1,1 mm diameter and the nearly symmetrical shape makes it a good companion for all kinds of reloading equipment. The burn rate of the N150 is on the medium scale of rifle powders. It is also one of the most temperature insensitive powders, and thanks to the added decoppering agent, the coppering of the rifle barrel is minor even when using copper bullets.

The N300 series powders are single base porous powders for handguns. Vihtavuori N310, known as N14 back in the old days, is a single-base, tubular powder type with grain dimensions of 0,7 mm length and 0,6 mm diameter. Thanks to its small size and almost symmetrical grain size, the powder flows smoothly and meters well in reloading measures. As with other N300 series powders, N310 is a porous powder. Porosity is a key factor influencing burning characteristics of powders; the more porous the powder, the faster the achieved burning rate. Vihtavuori N310 is often used for light target loads, paired with light bullets, but it also works with heavier bullets. As a very versatile powder, it is suitable also for loading shotshells and is in fact used by shotgun ammunition manufacturers in their premium cartridges with light 24 gram target loads. The N310 is also used by many blank ammunition manufacturers.

The N300 series powders are single base porous powders for handguns. Vihtavuori’s 3N37 handgun powder was originally developed for .22 rimfire cartridges, but has since proven to be very versatile and desirable within all competitive handgun shooting disciplines. The 3N37 is tubular, porous powder type with grain dimensions of 0,6 mm length and 0,6 mm diameter. The symmetrical grain size makes metering a breeze in powder measures. The burning rate of the 3N37 is close to N350 and on the medium scale of handgun powders. This is an excellent powder for 9 mm major loads for IPSC open competitions and it’s very popular in USPSA and IPSC practical pistol shooting disciplines. In addition to practical shooting, 3N37 is also widely used as a submachine gun powder. 3N37 offers consistent, extreme precision, with clean burning – and that is why it is used by the best shooters in the world.

Vihtavuori offers two rifle powders specifically for the .50 BMG case; 24N41 and 20N29. These are single-based treated powders, having very large grain size and  extremely slow burning rates ideally suited to the .50 BMG. They also have some application in a few other very large capacity cases, such as the .338 Lapua Magnum and the .30-378 Weatherby Magnum. Of the two, 24N41 is slightly faster than 20N29, with renewed relative burning rates 39 for the 24N41 and 36 for the 20N29, when N110 is given the index 100.

The N500 series powders are impregnated extruded rifle powders with Nitroglycerol added as extra energy component. If higher loading densities and more energy are needed, N500 series powders are competent alternatives for the N100 series powders. Vihtavuori’s N560 rifle powder is especially suitable to bring power to large and magnum calibers, for example .270 Winchester, 6,5-284, 7 mm Remington Magnum, 7 mm Weatherby Magnum and even the .416 Rigby. This rifle powder is also very good choice for handloading the .338 Lapua Magnum when using lighter bullets of 250 grains or less. The N560 powder is a tubular type with a fairly large grain with dimensions of 1,4 mm length and 1,2 mm diameter. The burn rate of is slow on the scale of rifle powders, between the N160 and N165. The N560 is similar to N100 series, but nitroglycerine has been added to it to get better energy content. The 500 series High Energy powders are mainly used in rifle cartridges where some extra energy content is needed to achieve bigger loading densities and higher muzzle velocities within the limits of maximum pressure. So, you get better velocity with the same pressure than with for instance the N165. The N560 is commonly used for big game hunting and sniper ammunition especially for larger caliber rifles. Especially in long distance hunting situations with reasonable calibers and bullets, the N560 magnum powder shows unbelievable performance.
