Vihtavuori N540 is a versatile rifle powder designed for a wide range of medium-sized calibers, suitable for both hunting and target shooting applications. It is an optimal choice for cartridges ranging from .223 Cal/5.56x45mm to .308 Win and .30-06 Springfield, particularly with heavier bullet weights. Vihtavuori N540 offers exceptional accuracy and burns with remarkable cleanliness. Due to the enhanced energy content inherent in all N500 series powders, it can achieve a velocity increase of up to 30-40 m/s at the same pressure level compared to the equivalent powders in the N100 Vihtavuori series. This makes it highly recommended for use with heavier bullets and when higher loading densities and muzzle velocities are required. Additionally, its symmetrical dimensions (1mm in length and 1mm in diameter) ensure precise metering in reloading equipment, facilitating an effortless loading process.

For target shooting and varminting, utilize a N540 powder load of 2.45 g (37.8 grain) with the 7.8 g (120 grain) OTM Scenar-L bullet in the 6.5x47mm Lapua caliber
The N540 powder is an optimal selection for the .223 Remington cartridge, particularly when deploying heavy projectiles ranging from 69 to 82 grain (4.5 to 5.3 g)
