Powder Valley has very little of the 350 4# left, only a couple 310, no 340 4#. They expect to run out in the next couple weeks. Kaltron says they will not have any more of these powders until the end of April........

I just have to ask, with all the powder's available, Accurate, hodgdon, imr, winchester...etc.etc. why bother with them? The quikest way to let a company know you don't approve is to quit buying their products.

Because they are the best powders available.

I use N 340 for mid weight bullets in 9mm, 40 S&W and 45 ACP. Good velocity, low pressures, clean burning, meters well and very accurate.

I have found very little variation (if any) from lot to lot.

Target shooters tend to be a bunch of penny-pinching tight wads who would steal used brass from their mother to save a nickel. Those same people (and I use the term loosely

) pay the extra $$$$ for VihtaVouri powders; because they want to win.

That's why

What do they do different in relation to say,, Hodgdon, to make them different or better? This is not a smart ass question just curious.

First off they develop, manafacture and test all their powders themselves in house. That is getting to be a rarity these days.

I think you might have hit the nail on the head here.

Maybe that ought to be "best powders not available ?"

The hunting imperative was part of every man's soul; some denied or suppressed it, others diverted it into less blatantly violent avenues of expression, wielding clubs on the golf course or racquets on the court, substituting a little white ball for the prey of flesh and blood.

I have used all brands of powder available in this country extensively. I came to VV through experience.

I'm a Chevy man, but I drive a Toyota and a Nissan.

Does that VV manual for sale in the Sinclair catalogue have alot more calibers in there compared to the short manual that is downloadable?

Not too many more,

It is a very good manual.

Nice discussions on pressure and other powder characteristics.

I refer to it fairly often.

Go to the Sako Finland web sight. It lists the factory loads. They only use VihtaVouri powders. Those loads are spot on. Free to download as well.
