Vihtavuori N540 Rifle Powder - 1 lb

Vihtavuori N540 Rifle Powder

Vihtavuori N540 is a premium rifle powder engineered for shooters who demand both accuracy and performance across a wide range of medium-caliber applications. Whether you're handloading for hunting or precision target work, N540 delivers the consistency and velocity you need.

Ideal Caliber Range

N540 excels in cartridges from .223/5.56 mm through .308 Winchester and .30-06 Springfield, particularly when working with heavier bullet weights. This versatility makes it an excellent choice for hunters and competitive shooters alike.

Performance Characteristics

Outstanding Accuracy and Clean Burning

N540 is formulated for exceptional accuracy with exceptionally clean combustion. You'll notice less fouling in your barrel and more consistent shot-to-shot performance—critical factors whether you're zeroing a hunting rifle or chasing tight groups on the range.

Superior Velocity Potential

As part of Vihtavuori's N500 series, N540 includes extra energy content that delivers 30-40 m/s higher velocity compared to equivalent powders in the N100 series—all at the same pressure level. This advantage is particularly valuable when you need higher muzzle velocities with heavier bullets or when loading densities demand it.

Metering and Ease of Use

N540's symmetrical granule design (10 mm length and 10 mm diameter) meters reliably in standard reloading equipment, making the loading process smooth and consistent. You'll appreciate the uniform flow characteristics that reduce weighing variations and speed up your reloading sessions.
