This pistol powder is one of the most popular powders in the Vihtavuori N300 series and it can be used for a wide variety of calibers and bullet weights making it the perfect partner for all kinds of reloading purposes. The N340 is used especially for medium and large caliber pistols and shotshells with medium and heavy loads.
