Vihtavuori N150 Powder Smokeless Powder Description
Vihtavuori Smokeless Powder is used by some of the best shooters and manufacturers in the competitive shooting industry, and they have earned a well-deserved reputation as one of the best smokeless powders on the market today. Clean burning and repeatable shooting properties are guaranteed with all of these powders in all weather and shooting conditions. Vihtavuori Smokeless Powders are renowned for their consistent and excellent quality, which is achieved through complete control of the entire production chain, which begins with the production of nitrocellulose and ends with the bottling of the finished product.
For more than 85 years, these strict quality acceptance limits have enabled reloaders and cartridge manufacturers to achieve consistent loads regardless of the production lot used in their production. It is easy to understand why Vihtavuori Smokeless Powders have earned such a prestigious reputation among top-level shooters all over the world.
Powders in the N100 series are single base powders that are primarily used in ryfle calibers. It is one of the most popular reloading products available from Vihtavuori, and their N150 multipurpose ryfle powder is no exception. It is commonly used in cartridges with middle case volumes, such as the.30-06 Springfield, the.308 Winchester, and the 6,5-55 SE, with heavier bullets in accuracy loads and hunting loads. Among European hunting calibers, the N150 is one of, if not the best, all-arounder powders available.
With grain dimensions of 1,3 millimeters in length and 1 millimeters in diameter, N150 is a tubular powder type with nearly symmetrical grain shape that makes it a good companion for all types of reloading equipment. The N150 burns at a rate that is in the middle of the range for ryfle powders. It is also one of the least temperature sensitive powders available, and thanks to the addition of a decoppering agent, coppering of the ryfle barrel is kept to a bare minimum even when copper bul’lets are used with it.
Additional Information of Importance:
- Do not load the cartridges with more than the maximum loads specified in the reloaders guide.
- There should never be any mixing of two powders, regardless of the type, brand, or source of the powders.
- Never substitute any other smokeless powder for black powder or any other substitute for black powder.
