Burn Rate: 7 (Medium-Fast)

Description

Vihtavuori's N350 is a medium burn rate powder notably recognized within the handloading community for its applicability in a wide range of handgun calibers. This double-base powder, formulated primarily for pistols, offers outstanding versatility for those crafting precision-loaded ammunition. Its physical form, a fine granule structure, ensures excellent metering characteristics, providing consistent charge weights in progressive reloaders. N350 is celebrated for its temperature stability which reduces variations in performance across different environmental conditions, making it an excellent choice for competitors and precision shooters.
