Vihtavuori N320 smokeless gun powder canister for competition handgun reloading

Product Description

Built for Soft-Shooting Competition Loads

Competition shooters running USPSA, IPSC, and IDPA divisions need a powder that produces soft, controllable recoil without sacrificing reliable cycling. Vihtavuori N320 delivers exactly that. This fast-burning, porous single-base pistol powder has become a favorite among Production Division and Minor power factor shooters who need consistent, soft-shooting performance round after round.

Clean-Burning, Consistent Metering

N320’s porous tubular granule structure sets it apart from standard spherical pistol powders. Because of this, it meters exceptionally consistently and burns exceptionally clean, reducing fouling during high-volume competition practice and matches. In addition, its fast burn rate suits soft 9mm Minor loads, as well as .40 S&W minor loads, .45 ACP target loads, and .38 Special match-grade ammunition.

Trusted by Serious Competition Shooters

Vihtavuori manufactures N320 to the same rigorous Finnish standards found across their full powder lineup. As a result, competitive shooters get the lot-to-lot consistency needed to maintain a reliable power factor across thousands of practice and match rounds.
