Have you ever tried the fastest of our High-Energy rifle powders, the Vihtavuori N530 High-Energy Rifle Powder?

N530 is an ideal for many of the smaller bottle necked cases like the 223/5.56 or large straight-walled cases such as the .45-70 Springfield. It is also a useful powder for medium capacity cases like the .308 Win when using lighter weight bullets of 10 grams / 155 grains or less.

N530 was originally developed for 5,56mm NATO cartridges (Cal .223) and is still today qualified for military use (STANAG). N530 is also widely used in various small and big-game hunting.

As with our other High-energy powders, nitroglycerine has been added to this traditional single base powder in order to achieve higher energy content. For you this means utmost performance for added velocity, combined with our powders’ exceptionally clean burning.

N530 is a tubular powder with grain dimensions of 0,8 mm length and 0,8 mm diameter. Thanks to the symmetrical size, the grains flow smoothly in powder measures and dosing is super easy.

What are smokeless powders?

Smokeless powders, or propellants, are essentially mixtures of chemicals. So, they are designed to burn under controlled conditions at the proper rate to fire a projectile from a firearm. Smokeless powders are made in three forms:

• Thin, circular flakes or wafers
• Small cylinders
• Small spheres

Single-base smokeless powders derive their main source of energy from nitrocellulose. The energy released from double-base smokeless powders (such as the Vihtavuori N500 rifle powders) is derived from both nitrocellulose and nitroglycerine.
