N165 rifle powder – Vihtavuori

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

N165 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 with a long range of calibers ranging from 6,5×55 SE all the way to .416 Rigby.

N165 Powder

The N165 powder grains are exactly the same size (1,3 mm length x 1,0 mm diameter) as those of its “big brother” N160, but the surface coating creates a difference in burning characteristics.

N165 is a very slow-burning 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.
