Description
This is the N135 8lb keg from Vihtavuori. It’s a versatile, single-base rifle powder for precision shooters and reloaders working with smaller cartridges like .223 Remington and .222 Remington. It’s known for its clean burn and consistent metering. Since we started carrying it in Q1 2025, it’s become a regular reorder item for us due to consistent demand.
What Makes It Stand Out
- Clean-Burning Formula: Single-base nitrocellulose powder leaves minimal residue, making cleaning easier and maintaining accuracy over long strings of fire.
- Exceptional Metering: The extruded grain structure is uniform, allowing for precise and consistent throws through your powder measure, shot after shot.
- Temperature Stable: Vihtavuori’s manufacturing process provides reliable performance across a wide range of ambient temperatures.
- Versatile Application: An excellent choice for varmint and target loads in .223 Remington, .222 Remington, and similar small rifle cartridges.
- High-Quality Keg: The 8lb container is durable, seals tight, and is easy to handle and store in your reloading space.

Common Questions
What’s the main use for N135?
N135 is primarily used for loading small rifle cartridges like .223 Remington and .222 Remington. It’s a popular choice for varmint hunting and target shooting where consistency and a clean burn are important.
How do you keep it in stock?
We watch our inventory on this one closely. As our staff says, “We keep 20+ in stock at all times because backorders kill us on this one.” We reorder frequently to meet the steady demand from our customers.
Is this suitable for .308 Winchester?
No, N135 is generally too fast a burn rate for standard .308 Winchester loads. It’s best suited for smaller capacity cases. Always consult official Vihtavuori load data for your specific cartridge.
