Vihtavuori N565 Rifle Powder

Vihtavuori N565 is a high-energy rifle powder designed to fill the gap between N560 and N570. Developed specifically for the .338 Lapua Magnum with 250 gr bullets, it features a precisely tailored burn rate and exceptional temperature stability for consistent performance across a wide range of environments. Improved hygroscopic stability and an integrated decoppering agent help promote a cleaner barrel during shooting. N565 is REACH compliant and contains no DNT or phthalates.

This single-perforated extruded powder flows smoothly through powder measures, supporting excellent loadability and uniformity. Its burn rate is slightly closer to N570, effectively splitting the difference between N560 and N570. Vihtavuori N565 has a bulk density of 960 g/l and an energy content of 4000 J/g.

Originally developed for military sniping applications, N565 is also well suited to long-range shooting and extreme long-range (ELR) sporting applications. It has proven to be an ideal choice for cartridges including the 7mm Rem. Magnum, .30-06, .300 Win. Mag., .300 Norma Mag., .338 Norma Mag., and .338 Lapua Magnum.
