Vihtavuori N130 Rifle Powder - 1 lb

Vihtavuori N130 Rifle Powder

Vihtavuori N130 is a versatile, fast-burning rifle powder engineered for shooters who demand consistency and reliability across multiple applications. Originally designated N303, this single-base tubular powder has earned its reputation through decades of proven performance in the field and at the range.

Ideal Applications

N130 excels in a wide range of rifle cartridges, making it a smart choice for the serious handloader:

• Small game hunting - Delivers reliable performance for varmint and small game work
• Target shooting - Consistent burn rate ensures predictable velocities and tight groups
• Factory ammunition - Used in commercial .22 and 6mm PPC loads
• Handloading lighter bullets - Particularly well-suited for .223 Remington with reduced-weight projectiles
• Straight-wall cartridges - Excellent performance in .45-70 Government and .458 Winchester Magnum

Technical Specifications

N130 features a consistent tubular grain design measuring 10mm in length and 6mm in diameter. This uniform geometry contributes to reliable metering and consistent charge weights, critical factors for precision handloading.

The powder's position on Vihtavuori's burn-rate scale is relatively fast, making it suitable for smaller to medium rifle cases where quick, complete combustion is essential.

A Note on Vihtavuori Quality

Interestingly, N130 shares identical grain dimensions with N133 and N135, yet each powder burns differently due to proprietary surface coatings. This demonstrates Vihtavuori's commitment to precision manufacturing and why their powders are trusted by competitive shooters and hunters worldwide.

Each 1-pound container provides ample powder for numerous handloading sessions.
