[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 2825616, member: 69478"] I wanted to start this thread to discuss VihtaVuori powders, which I have next to no experience with. I recently bought 8lbs of N133 for my 6PPC, but I haven't even loaded any rounds with it yet. With the purchase of this 133, it got me thinking about other VV powders. In the past I have overlooked all VV powders simply because they were unknown to me and they were historically more expensive than Hodgdon and Alliant offerings. Nowadays Viht is often less or equal in price and a lot of the VV offerings, minus N555, N565, and 570, appear to be more available compared to the other brands. With that being said, how do the lesser used Vihta Vuori powders such as N135, N160, N165, N170, and N540, N550, and N560 fare compared to their more popular counterparts from Hodgdon and Alliant? I have read that newer lots of VV powders are supposed to be both temperature stable and have de-coppering agents in the powders. How temp stable are the Viht powders? I have done some research but I haven't found many reports on temp stability or many results with the above listed VV powders. Any input and data would be much appreciated. Feel free to report on your experiences with any VV powders or if you have directly compared them to other brand's offerings. Thank you! [/QUOTE]
