The Vihtavuori N560 is a high-energy rifle powder specifically designed for magnum and large-caliber cartridges. Ideal for big game hunting and long-range precision shooting, N560 provides higher velocities while maintaining safe pressure levels, making it an outstanding choice for demanding reloaders.

This slow-burning powder sits between N160 and N165 in Vihtavuori’s burn rate scale, offering exceptional energy content due to the added nitroglycerine. The N560’s tubular powder structure (1.4mm length, 1.2mm diameter) ensures consistent performance and optimal loading densities, making it a prime option for long-range hunting and sniper applications.

If you're reloading 6.5-284, .270 Win, 7mm Rem Mag, 7mm Weatherby Mag, .338 Lapua Magnum (with 250gr or lighter bullets), or even .416 Rigby, N560 delivers the power and precision you need.
