The Vihtavuori N565 is a high-energy, slow-burning rifle powder designed specifically for long-range precision shooting and extended long-range (ELR) applications. Created to fill the gap between N560 and N570, N565 was originally developed for military sniping applications but has proven to be an excellent choice for long-range hunting and precision shooting disciplines.

This temperature-stable powder delivers consistent velocities across different environments, ensuring uniform performance. With improved hygroscopic stability and a new decoppering agent, N565 minimizes barrel fouling, allowing for a cleaner shooting experience.

Physically, N565 grains are identical in size to N560, ensuring smooth flow through powder measures for precise and uniform loads. It is REACH compliant and free from DNT or phthalates, making it a clean and safe choice for serious reloaders.
