About this powder

N310 is one of the fastest-burning Vihtavuori powders, designed for light .38 Spl wadcutter loads, light pistol target ammo, and small-charge shotgun applications. It burns extremely cleanly and produces almost no visible residue. The very low charge weights make it economical but require careful measurement and a powder check die to prevent double-charge errors.
