Vihtavuori N565 Smokeless Gun Powder

Looking for Vihtavuori N565 in stock? Created specifically at customer request, N565 was designed by Vihtavuori’s R&D team to fill the performance gap between N560 and N570, built specifically for the .338 Lapua Magnum with 250-grain bullets. For safe charge weights, always consult Vihtavuori’s official load data before loading.

Beyond its precisely tailored burn rate, N565 is extremely temperature stable, delivering uniform results across a wide range of environments — a critical trait for hunters and long-range shooters who can’t control the conditions they’re loading for. Vihtavuori also built in improved hygroscopic stability and a decoppering agent for a cleaner barrel after every session, and the powder is REACH compliant without DNT or phthalates.

Physically, N565 shares the same grain size as N560, flowing smoothly through powder measures for consistent, uniform loading. Its burn rate sits a bit closer to N570, effectively splitting the difference between the two — giving reloaders a genuinely purpose-built option rather than a compromise. While N565 was originally developed for military sniping applications, it has found a wide range of sporting uses, particularly in long-range shooting. It’s an ideal choice for calibers like the 7mm Remington Magnum, .30-06, .300 Winchester Magnum, .300 Norma Magnum, and .338 Norma Magnum.
