VihtaVuori N560

Vihtavuori 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 a very good choice for handloading the .338 Lapua Magnum when using lighter bullets of 250 grains or less.

The Vihtavuori 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 is slow on the scale of our rifle powders, between the N160 and N165. The N560 is similar to the 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.

WHY CHOOSE VIHTAVUORI POWDERS FOR RELOADING?

All of our gun powders meet the strict requirements of both civilian and military needs.

They’re Clean Burning

Our use of only the finest of raw materials is a renowned characteristic of all Vihtavuori powders. We take great pride in producing a very pure and clean-burning powder that allows longer shooting sessions between cleanings.

The clean-burning characteristics of our rifle and handgun powders result in greatly reduced carbon build-up and powder fouling.

Ultimately giving longer barrel life for rifles. Read more on our rifle and handgun powders here!

They come with a Decoppering agent

After extensive testing and development, we’ve begun adding a decoppering agent to all of our smokeless powders. This additive deters the adhesion and build-up of copper fouling in the bore, ie. the inside of the barrel of a firearm.

Excessive jacket material fouling is a well-known and established cause of accuracy loss when shooting. Our new decoppering agent prevents much of barrel fouling from building up in the first place, greatly prolonging your shooting sessions, and extending barrel life.

They’re extremely temperature stable

Temperature stability in reloading powders has always been a consideration, but with the recent improvements in Long Range and ELR shooting, it has become a factor of major concern to shooters.

Firing at long ranges places greater demands on ammo, equipment, and the shooter himself for instance.

Enabling a shooter to meet these demands means refining the process, and eliminating those variables which reduce hit probability.

They’re lot-to-lot consistent

This demanding process requires constant testing, verification, and adjustment to ensure that each run is perfectly compatible with those before and after.

This is a guiding principle of our powder production philosophy in other words.

We require extreme accuracy and quality at every step of our production process, most importantly.

VIHTAVUORI IS EXPERIENCED, QUALITY CRAFTSMANSHIP FOR THE PERFECT AMMO

Firstly, we manufacture our propellants entirely in-house, and this ensures their high quality.

Vihtavuori rifle and pistol powders deliver consistently flawless firing performance most importantly – for you this means reliable reloading and ammunition you demand.

Moreover, the grain geometry of different gunpowder types provides the wanted combustion characteristics for the chosen cartridge application.

In conclusion, all Vihtavuori Powders are available also in Industrial Packings.
