Vihtavuori N165 Rifle Powder - 8lbs

When you’re aiming for exceptional long-range performance N165 is your choice of rifle powder!

Vihtavuori N165 is a universal powder for magnum rifle calibers with heavy bullets. It works especially well in .338 Lapua Magnum with 250 gr bullets but can be used for handloading a wide variety of calibers ranging from 65×55 SE all the way to .416 Rigby.

The N165 powder grains are exactly the same size (13 mm length x 10 mm diameter) as those of its “big brother” N160 but the surface coating creates the difference in burning characteristics.

N165 is a very slow burning rifle powder making it a superior choice for the same range of cartridges as N160 when using heavier bullets. As slightly higher velocities can be achieved with N165 it is an excellent choice for long-range shooting and big game hunting.
