 Clean burning
Our use of only the finest of raw materials is a renowned characteristic of all
Vihtavuori powders. We take great pride in producing a very pure and clean
burning powder which allows longer shooting sessions between cleanings.
The clean-burning characteristics of our powders result in greatly reduced
carbon build-up and powder fouling, ultimately giving longer barrel life.

Decoppering agent
After extensive testing and development, we’ve begun adding a decoppering
agent to all of our powders. This additive deters the adhesion and build-up of
copper fouling in the bore. Excessive jacket material fouling is a well-known

Smokeless propellants are an organic

materials. Every production run must be
closely matched to very specific standards
regarding grain geometry, chemistry and

constant testing, verification and adjustment to ensure that each run is
perfectly compatible with those before and after. This is a guiding principle
of our production philosophy. We require extreme accuracy and quality at
every step of our production process.

person may retreat to a safe distance before powder is ignited. If a small, tightly enclosed storage enclosure is loaded to
capacity with containers of smokeless powder, the walls of

Under such conditions, the effects of the release of gas

pressure are similar or identical to the effects produced by
an explosion.

Hence only the smallest practical quantities of smokeless

powder should be kept in storage, and then in strict compliance

Manufacturing propellants entirely in-house ensures their high

quality. All Vihtavuori powders are made using nitro-cellulose
produced by cotton linters at our own plant. Premium quality
Vihtavuori powders deliver consistently flawless firing performance
– for you this means reliable reloading and ammunition you
demand.

Each stage of the production process is subject to stringent quality

control by the Vihtavuori experts to ensure that each production lot
has the exact ballistic performance required. Each and every batch
produced is inspected by comparing them to selected reference
batches.

All Vihtavuori powders for small arms are extruded propellants.

Propellant grains are perforated cylinders of various sizes, flat
ribbon flakes or other shapes extruded for special applications.
The grain geometry of different powder types provides the wanted
combustion characteristics for the chosen cartridge application.

The estimated shelf-life of Vihtavuori powders is a minimum of 10

years, if stored and sealed in its original containers at a temperature
circa 20°C and relative humidity of 55 -65%.

All Vihtavuori reloading powders are packed into bottles and

canisters and further in cardboard boxes.
