Vihtavuori N140 Smokeless Rifle Powder 1lb

A Proven Powder with Deep Roots

Vihtavuori N140 carries a distinguished pedigree, originally developed for the 7.62x53R cartridge used by the Finnish Army. Decades later, it remains one of the most respected powders in the Vihtavuori lineup—a testament to its reliability and performance.

Design and Performance

N140 is a tubular powder with carefully engineered grain dimensions (10mm length, 9mm diameter). The grain geometry and graphite coating deliver two critical advantages:

• Consistent metering in all reloading machines
• Easy, precise dosing for repeatable loads

The Right Tool for Accuracy

This is a medium-burn powder on the Vihtavuori speed scale. It prioritizes accuracy over maximum velocity—the choice of handloaders who understand that precision matters more than raw power. Whether you're loading for small game hunting or precision sport shooting, N140 delivers the consistency needed for tight groups.

Versatility Across Calibers

N140 works across a wide range of rifle cartridges, from the modest .223 Remington to the powerful .375 H&H Magnum. Common applications include:

• .223 Remington
• .308 Winchester
• .30-06 Springfield
• .375 H&H Magnum
• And many others in between

This is a true multipurpose powder for the serious handloader who values accuracy and reliability.
