Vihtavuori N110 Smokeless Gun Powder: Fastest-Burning N100-Series Powder for Magnum Revolver & Small Rifle Loads

Vihtavuori N110 is the fastest-burning powder in Vihtavuori’s entire N100 rifle powder series, and it’s also widely used as a magnum revolver powder — a genuine dual-purpose choice for reloaders working with small rifle cases and heavy-recoil magnum handgun cartridges alike.

Built for Speed and Versatility

N110 uses a tubular extruded grain measuring 1.1mm long and 0.8mm in diameter. It was formerly marketed under the names 4N19 and N3SS before Vihtavuori adopted its current naming system. Best ignition is achieved with small rifle primers. Vihtavuori’s production process controls the full chain from nitrocellulose manufacture to final bottling, giving the lot-to-lot consistency reloaders need for repeatable results.

Application Versatility

N110 has official published load data for .22 Hornet, .30 Carbine, .357 S&W Magnum, .41 Remington Magnum, .44 Remington Magnum, .454 Casull, .500 S&W Magnum, and intermediate rifle cartridges including .300 AAC Blackout (both subsonic and supersonic loads), .308 Winchester, and .30-06 Springfield, among 23 total cartridges with published data. If you need a slightly slower-burning N100-series option for larger small-case rifle cartridges, Vihtavuori N130 is worth comparing.

Load Development

Always use published, manufacturer-tested load data when developing loads with N110. Start at the published minimum charge and work up in small increments, weigh every charge on a calibrated scale, and chronograph each string to track velocity consistency. Keep primer brand, bullet lot, and brass lot constant during development, watch for pressure signs, and document charge weight, seating depth, primer, and chronograph results so successful loads can be reproduced.
