Vihtavuori’s N135 powder, originally developed for the 7.62×51 NATO M80 Ball, has evolved into a versatile and universal gun powder favored by reloaders across a wide range of calibers. From the .222 Remington to the .458 Winchester Magnum, N135 is a go-to choice for shooters seeking consistent performance and reliability.

This tubular powder features grain dimensions of 1.0 mm length and 0.8 mm diameter, with a medium burn rate among Vihtavuori’s rifle powders. Despite sharing the same grain dimensions as N133 and N130, the unique surface coating of N135 results in distinct burning behavior.

N135 finds favor among medium game hunters and long-range target shooters, offering excellent performance in .308 Winchester loads with bullet weights ranging from 8.0 g /123 gr to 10 g /155 gr. For those seeking exceptional accuracy and velocity, pairing N135 with a 155 gr Open Tip Match bullet in .308 Winchester is highly recommended. Additionally, experiment with N135 in .223 Remington loads featuring bullet weights of 3.9-4.5 grams (60-69 grains) for surprising accuracy and velocity results. Unlock the full potential of your handloads with Vihtavuori’s N135 powder.
