Vihtavuori N120 Smokeless Rifle & Pistol Powder

Vihtavuori N120 is a premium, fast-burning single-base smokeless rifle powder from the renowned N100 series, developed for precision handloading and consistent performance in small-capacity rifle cartridges. Its controlled burning characteristics make it particularly suitable for applications requiring a relatively fast rifle propellant, including selected small-calibre sporting and target cartridges.

Manufactured in Finland to Vihtavuori's exacting quality standards, N120 features a tubular grain structure designed to deliver consistent ignition, dependable ballistic performance and excellent shot-to-shot uniformity. Positioned between N110 and N130 in the Vihtavuori rifle powder range, it combines the manufacturer's reputation for clean-burning performance with the precision and reliability demanded by discerning handloaders.
