Powders for the .50 BMG


24N41 / 20N29
For .50 BMG there are two special Vihtavuori reloading
powders available: 24N41 and 20N29. They are, like
N100 series, single base surface treated powders.
Their burning rate is slower and grain size larger than
that of the N100 series rifle reloading powders. The
renewed relative burning rate of the 24N41 is 39 and
that of the 20N29 respectively 36, when N110 is given
the index 100, and therefore 24N41 is slightly faster
burning than 20N29. There is reloading data available
also for some other magnum rifle calibers with these
powders and 20N29 has gained reputation also when
used eg. in .338 Lapua Magnum and in .30-378
Weatherby Magnum.

Preface
Dear Vihtavuori customer,
The new Vihtavuori Reloading Guide 2016 is an updated version of the previous Vihtavuori Reloading Guides.
The contents of this updated issue has been revised with loading data for the following calibres:
Centerfire rifle

.243 Win., 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Win., 8x57IS and 9.3x62
Now published new rifle reloading data is expanding and revising the powder selection for existing bullets but
also for some new Naturalis bullets. Totally new caliber data is included for 6.5 Creedmoor.
As a courtesy to the reloader the load tables contain notes of compressed loads and loads to fill the case up. For
flexible usage this guide features data in metric and imperial dimension systems i.e. charge weight in grams and
grains as well as muzzle velocity in meters and feet per second. This reloading guide also includes the accuracy
loads noted in the load tables. These loads utilize worldwide well-known Lapua cartridge components and are
factory tested either for even pressure / muzzle velocity and accuracy. These loads are highlighted in the load tables
with dark grey shadowing.
All the loads in this guide are pressure tested according to the C.I.P. method. The maximum loads given in the
tables are determined according to the C.I.P. and SAAMI maximum pressure specifications. The listed maximum
loads should never be exceeded. Due to the differences in the cartridge components, individual weapons, shooting
temperatures etc., always start developing your load by using the starting load according to the loading data. If there
is no indication of the starting load, use 15 % lower charge than the listed maximum load as your starting load.
The Vihtavuori powders are manufactured by Nammo Vihtavuori Oy at the Vihtavuori plants. Sales and marketing
of the reloading powders as well as customer service are carried out by Nammo Lapua Oy. The contact details of
Lapua customer service and a listing of Vihtavuori Distributors can be found at the end of this guide. For latest
updates of data and distributors check also www.vihtavuori.com or www.lapua.com, where this guide can also
be downloaded in PDF format.
We wish you successful reloading with Vihtavuori powders.

factory, we make no warranty of any kind, either expressed or
implied, limited or full. We specifically disclaim all warranties
of fitness for a particular purpose and merchantability. We
specifically disclaim all liability for consequential damages
of any kind whatsoever, whether or not due to sellers

connection with the use of this product.

How to Use the Data


Our rifle and handgun data listings generally contain maximum
charges which are not to be exceeded. In some instances
starting loads are also listed. Currently this booklet contains
all of the data we can supply. Be certain you use the correct
data and the specific bullet weight shown.
By staying 5 % below the maximum powder charge weight,
pressures will be reduced by about 10 % while velocities will
be only about 3 % lower than listed.
Caution: When loading handgun cartridges it is vital to
maintain the minimum cartridge overall length (C.O.L.) listed
in the tables. Shorter overall lengths may double chamber
pressures. Longer lengths are permissible so long as the
functioning of the handgun will not be impaired.
The data in the loading tables were obtained at an ambient
temperature of 68 degrees Fahrenheit and relative humidity
of 55 %. The values obtained were under carefully controlled
conditions and may vary from those obtained with your
firearm, specific component lots, loading dimensions, and
loading procedures. The maximum charges must NEVER
be exceeded. Start loading with the starting load
according to the loading data. If there is no indication
of the starting load, use 15 % lower charge than the
listed maximum. When loading cartridges for which the
listed charge is 10 grains or less, after firing 10 rounds at the
minimum weight (15 % below maximum), increase charge
weights by 0.2 grains and fire another 10 rounds. Repeat this
procedure, if necessary, until you reach, but do not exceed,

12

Properties and Storage of


Smokeless Powder

the maximum listed charge. The same process is followed for


heavier charges except that charge weights from 11 to 25
grains use increments of 0.5 grains. For charges over 25 grains
increments of 1.0 grains will be correct.
If even a single test round shows signs of excessive pressure
discontinue the use of the load. Do not fire even a single
additional cartridge. Seek qualified help before proceeding!
The traditional sign of overpressure is a flattened primer.
When flattened primers start to occur, it is a definite warning
that the charge should be reduced, quickly. Brass getting into
the ejector and extractor cavities is a worse case. Blown out
primers are worse still. If a case ruptures it may be a sign of a
defective case or a truly lethal chamber pressure.

Properties of Smokeless Powder


Smokeless powders, or propellants, are essentially mixtures of
chemicals designed to bum under controlled conditions at the
proper rate to propel a projectile from a gun.
Smokeless powders are made in three forms:
1.
2.
3.

Thin, circular flakes or wafers


Small cylinders
Small spheres

In case of overpressure signs it is wiser to back off, to be safe


rather than sorry. Why risk potentially fatal injury? Better to
stop shooting and immediately discard all such reloads.

Single-base smokeless powders derive their main source of


energy from nitrocellulose.

Read also the Reloading Safety Rules on pages 16 and 17.

The energy released from double-base smokeless powders is


derived from both nitrocellulose and nitroglycerine.

Pressure
There are numerous factors which can change the ballistic
performance of a load even when the data is followed exactly.
For example: The internal dimensions of a firearm can vary
greatly even between two of the same make and model.
Pressures can vary to extremes as different firearms are used.
Each change in brand and even within different lots of a
specific brand component can cause notable ballistic changes.
Too, changes in ambient temperature can also cause ballistic
altering pressures. Not every bullet of a given diameter and
weight will produce alike pressure. Changes in case brand
can also effect ballistics. There are numerous other causes of
varying pressure levels.
Therefore it is essential that the reloader be well versed in
the methods of carefully working up a reload powder charge
in small increments as outlined in the various reloading
handbooks that are available from reliable sources. The data
in this book is not intended for use by persons not thoroughly
versed in such procedures.
This guide should be supplemented by a good reloading
handbook such as the Lapua Reloading Manual, the DBI
Metallic Cartridge Reloading, the Vihtavuori Reloading Manual
or other recognized manuals that may offer all appropriate
information.

All smokeless powders are extremely flammable by design,


they are intended to bum rapidly and vigorously when ignited.
Oxygen from the air is not necessary for the combustion of
smokeless powders since they contain sufficient built-in oxygen
to burn completely, even in an enclosed space such as the
chamber of a firearm.
In effect, ignition occurs when the powder granules are heated
above their ignition temperature. This can occur by exposing
powder to:
1.
2.

3.

A flame such as a match or primer flash.


An electrical spark or the sparks from welding,
grinding, etc..
Heat from an electric hot plate or a fire directed
or near a closed container even if the powder itself
is not exposed to the flame.

When smokeless powder burns, a great deal of gas at high


temperature is formed. If the powder is confined, this gas will
create pressure in the surrounding structure. The rate of gas
generation is such, however, that the pressure can be kept at a
low level if sufficient space is available or if the gas can escape.

although smokeless powder may contain chemical ingredients


common to some of these products.
High explosives such as dynamite are made to detonate, that
is, to change from solid state to gaseous state with evolution
of intense heat at such a rapid rate that shock waves are
propagated through any medium in contact with them. Such
shock waves exert pressure on anything they contact, and, as
a matter of practical consideration, it is almost impossible to
satisfactorily vent away the effects of a detonation involving
any appreciable quantity of dynamite.
Smokeless powder differs considerably in its burning
characteristics from common black powder.
Black powder burns essentially at the same rate out in the
open (unconfined) as when in a gun.
When ignited in an unconfined state, smokeless powder
burns inefficiently with an orange-colored flame. It produces
a considerable amount of light brown noxious smelling smoke.
It leaves a residue of ash and partially burned powder. The
flame is hot enough to cause severe burns.
The opposite is true when it burns under pressure as in a
cartridge fired in a gun. Then it produces very little smoke, a
small glow, and leaves very little or no residue. The burning
rate of smokeless powder increases with increased pressure.
If burning smokeless powder is confined, gas pressure will
rise and eventually can cause the container to burst. Under
such circumstances, the bursting of a strong container creates
effects similar to an explosion.
For this reason, the Department of Transportation (formerly
Interstate Commerce Commission) sets specifications for
shipping containers for propellants and requires tests for
loaded containers - under actual fire conditions - before
approving them for use.
When smokeless powder in D.O.T. approved containers is
ignited during such tests, container seams split open or lids
pop off - to release gases and powder from confinement at
low pressure.

In this respect smokeless powder differs from blasting agents


or high explosives such as dynamite or blasting gelatin,

Considerations for Storage of


Smokeless Powder

Recommendations for Storage of


Smokeless Powder

Although modern smokeless powders are basically free from


deterioration under proper storage conditions, safe practices
require a recognition of the signs of deterioration and its
possible effects.

Smokeless powder is intended to function by burning, so it


must be protected against accidental exposure to flame, sparks
or high temperatures.

STORE IN A COOL, DRY PLACE. Be sure the storage area


selected is free from any possible sources of excess heat and
is isolated from open flame, furnaces, hot water heaters, etc.
Do not store smokeless powder where it will be exposed to
the suns rays. Avoid storage in areas where mechanical or
electrical equipment is in operation. Restrict from the storage
areas heat or sparks which may result from improper, defective
or overloaded electrical circuits.

Powder deterioration can be checked by opening the cap on


the container and smelling the contents.
Powder undergoing deterioration has an irritating acidic
odor. (Dont confuse this with common solvent odors such as
alcohol, ether and acetone).
Check to make certain that powder is not exposed to extreme
heat as this may cause deterioration. Such exposure produces
an acidity which accelerates further reaction and has been
known, because of the heat generated by the reaction, to
cause spontaneous combustion.
Never salvage powder from old cartridges and do not attempt
to blend salvaged powder with new powder. Dont accumulate
old powder stocks. The best way to dispose of deteriorated
smokeless powder is to burn it out in the open at an isolated
location in small shallow piles (not over 1 deep). The quantity
burned in any one pile should never exceed one pound. Use an
ignition train of slow burning combustible material so that the
person may retreat to a safe distance before powder is ignited.

For these reasons, it is desirable that storage enclosures be


made of insulating materials to protect the powder from
external heat sources.
Once smokeless powder begins to burn, it will normally
continue to burn (and generate gas pressure) until it is
consumed.
D.O.T. approved containers are constructed to open up at low
internal pressures to avoid the effects normally produced by
the rupture or bursting of a strong container.
Storage enclosures for smokeless powder should be
constructed in a similar manner:

DO NOT STORE SMOKELESS POWDER IN THE SAME


AREA WITH SOLVENTS, FLAMMABLE GASES OR HIGHLY
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. STORE ONLY IN DEPARTMENT
OF TRANSPORTATION APPROVED CONTAINERS.
Do not transfer the powder from an approved container into
one which is not approved.

DO NOT SMOKE IN AREAS WHERE POWDER IS STORED OR


USED. Place appropriate NO SMOKING signs in these areas.
THE STORAGE CABINETS SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTED OF
INSULATING MATERIALS AND WITH A WEAK WALL, SEAMS
OR JOINTS TO PROVIDE AN EASY MEANS OF SELFVENTING.
DO NOT KEEP OLD OR SALVAGED POWDERS. Check old
powders for deterioration regularly. Destroy deteriorated
powders immediately.
OBEY ALL REGULATIONS REGARDING QUANTITY AND
METHODS OF STORING. Do not store all your powders in one
place. If you can, maintain separate storage locations. Many
small containers are safer than one or more large containers.
KEEP YOUR STORAGE AND USE AREA CLEAN. Clean up spilled

trash or other readily combustible materials.

1.
Of fire-resistant and heat-insulating materials to

protect contents from external heat.

2.
Sufficiently large to satisfactorily vent the gaseous

products of combustion which would result if

the quantity of smokeless powder within the

enclosure accidentally ignited.
If a small, tightly enclosed storage enclosure is loaded to
capacity with containers of smokeless powder, the walls of
the enclosure will expand or move outwards to release the
gas pressure - if the powder in storage is accidentally ignited.
Under such conditions, the effects of the release of gas
pressure are similar or identical to the effects produced by
an explosion.
Hence only the smallest practical quantities of smokeless
powder should be kept in storage, and then in strict compliance
with all applicable regulations and recommendations of the
National Fire Protection Association.

Reloading Safety
Reloading is an enjoyable and rewarding hobby that is easily conducted with safety. But like many other human endeavours,
carelessness or negligence can make reloading hazardous. The essence of reloading safety is proper handling and storage of
primers and powder. As important is strict following of the instructions given by the manufacturers of the reloading equipment
as well as the reloading components.
Before you get started, read the safety rules below and keep them in mind whenever reloading. Attention paid to detail and
patience ensures safety and quality!
n Reload only when you can give it your undivided attention.
Do not reload, when fatigued or ill. Develop your own
reloading routine to avoid mistakes. Avoid haste, load at
a leisurely place and keep in mind that absolutely no
reloading under the influence of alcohol or drugs!
n Always wear proper eye protection. It is an unnecessary
risk to reload without safety glasses.

n Start loading with the starting load according to the


loading data. If there is no indication of the starting load, use
15 % lower charge than the listed maximum load. Increase
the charge using small steps watching for overpressure signs
from the primer and the case head at each step. If you
detect overpressures immediately stop shooting and
reduce the charge. Immediately disassemble the defective
cartridges. NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM LOADS!

n Store powder and primers out of reach of children and


away from heat and open fire. Follow the manufacturers
instructions on your powder canister. Never smoke
during a reloading session!

n Check visually the powder level in the cases so you are


absolutely sure that you have no double powder charge. When
a double powder charge is fired it may result in a gun damage,
personal injury, even death.

n Keep no more powder than needed available. Immediately


return the unused powder to its original factory container to
preserve its identity and usable life time.

n If you change the lot of any component or if you change


any of the components of your reload, you must develop your
load from the starting load again. A different component as
well as a component from a different manufacturing lot may
cause changes in cartridge pressure.

n Do not use any powder unless its identity is positively


known. Scrap all unidentified powders according to the
manufacturer's instructions on your powder canister. Keep
in mind that the trial-and-error method may lead to
serious injury!
n Do not store primers in bulk! Doing so will create
a bomb! Bulk primers will very likely mass detonate. The blast
of a few hundred primers corresponds to a hand grenade in a
room! Do not force primers in any circumstances. Take special
care when filling and handling auto primer feed tubes. Keep
primers in their original factory packing until used. Return
unused primers to their original packing.
n Do not use primers if their identity is lost. Discard them
according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Reloading Safety
Lead Exposure
A continuous lead exposure has been found out to create
lead accumulation to living bodies, specially to the nervous
system causing little by little serious physical impairment.
Some unused reloading components as well as fired cases
can contain lead or lead compounds, it is possible to a
reloader to get exposed during reloading. Primers and
bullets contain lead and it may be present as a residue in
fired cartridge cases, too.
There are different ways lead may enter the body. However,
the two most common are considered to be the mouth and
the breathing. Therefore with simple precautions described
underneath the possible lead exposure and its dangerous
consequences can be avoided.

n WASH YOUR HANDS thoroughly with warm water and


soap after shooting or reloading.
n DO NOT EAT OR DRINK during a reloading session.
When handling fired cartridge cases the residual containing
lead most likely gets to your hands. Therefore eating something
requiring a straight hand contact during a reloading session
hazards the reloader to lead exposure. Keep your hands away
from your nose or your mouth during a reloading session.
n KEEP GOOD HOUSEHOLD AT YOUR RELOADING
SITE. Regular cleaning prevents the accumulation of residuals.
Use a damp cloth or mop to clean up the reloading bench
as well as the floor underneath. DO NOT USE A VACUUM
CLEANER! The use of it poses a potential risk of exposure
due to the spilled powder it collects up. Furthermore, an
ordinary vacuum cleaner more spreads than collects the dust
containing residuals.. Do not use any carpet at your reloading
site. Carpet is hard to keep dust-free and it can create static
electricity that can accidentally fire a primer.
n PROTECT YOUR BREATHING AGAINST THE DUST IN
THE RELOADING AREA. When using a dry tumbling media
in cleaning the cartridge cases, keep in mind that the lead
residue from the fired cases moves to the tumbling media,
where it accumulates by use. Wear always a dust mask when
pouring the dry cleaning media out of the tumbler and be
careful not to spill the media on your reloading bench.

n You must absolutely follow the given cartridge overall


lengths (C.O.L.) according to the reloading tables. The change
in the bullet seating depth has a significant influence on the
cartridge pressure.
n Never reduce loads under the listed starting load.
n Keep your reloading bench in good order. Clean up spilled
powder and primers promptly and completely. Remember that
the reloading bench is not a temporary store for other tools,
used car spare parts etc.
n Use your reloading equipment according to the
manufacturer's recommendations. Study the instructions
carefully and don't hesitate to ask, if you don't understand
everything.
n Be safe, be conscientious!

Vihtavuori Smokeless Loads for


Cowboy Action Shooting
About the Data

powder in either end of the case. This is sometimes seen as a


velocity change between the first shot and the following shots.

These loads are developed to give the velocities required for


the cowboy action shooting using revolvers with lead bullets.
The maximum load is determined by the velocity limit about
300 m/s, or by the maximum pressure limit according to the CIP
October 1, 1992 rules. The bold text in the tables indicate the
maximum load according to CIP pressure level. The maximum
loads must never be exceeded.

The shot to shot deviations in velocity and pressure are


normally increased when using load which leaves the cases
half empty. For this reason such loads are not recommended
for target loads. The data below is tested in a way that the
powder is as much as possible in the primer side before firing,
and therefore, the pressures and the velocities represent the
maximum values which were obtained using our test equipment
and cartridge components indicated in the table.

All the listed loads are intended to be used in modern firearms, which are according to the SAAMI requirements. Please
use a competent gunsmith to evaluate that the condition of
your gun is adequate to be used with the pressures indicated
in the tables. The starting loads are the lowest charges which
appeared to give clean burning, i.e. no unburned residues in
the barrel or in the case, in our test shooting. This limit may,
however vary according to the revolver used.
There are some special features, which must be considered,
when using reduced loads like the ones presented in the tables
below. The same facts are equally valid always when using
any smokeless powder in such loads.

3) Risk for underload detonation


This risk is always present when using highly reduced loads of
any smokeless powder. The large free space in the case may
generate a pressure wave which can cause, in the worst case,
powder to burn as a shock wave, i.e. to detonate, instead of
normal fast burning process. The extremely sharp pressure
peaks involved in detonation can destroy the weapon and
may lead to serious injury.
All these loads given here are extensively pressure tested
and no signs of underload detonation were found. We strongly
recommend everyone to follow strictly these tables to minimize
the risk for underload detonation.

1) Double charges
Some of these loads are so small that throwing the load twice
in the same case is possible because of the large case volume.
Doubling the charge accidentally causes most probably truly
lethal chamber pressures. Therefore, it is a must for everyone
using this data to check visually every single load for the double
charge before seating the bullet.

2) Free space in the case


When using charges which leave large amount of free space in
the case, the shooting characteristics may vary largely depending on where the powder is located in the case. If the powder
lies totally in the bottom of the case (i.e. in the end where
primer is), the muzzle velocity and especially the maximum
pressure become much higher. The maximum pressure may
even be doubled when same powder charge is moved from
the bullet end to the primer end of the case. This can simply
be demonstrated by shaking the revolver barrel upwards or
barrel downwards just before turning it smoothly in horizontal
position, aiming and shooting. Also the recoil may transfer the

Warnings
Smokeless powder differs considerably in its burning characteristics from common black powder. Black powder burns
essentially at the same rate in the open (unconfined) as when
in a gun. The burning rate of smokeless powder increases with
increasing pressure. If burning smokeless powder is confined,
gas pressure will rise and eventually can cause the container
or chamber to burst. A slight increase in smokeless powder
charge after maximum load causes sharp increase in maximum
pressure in the chamber. Never exceed the maximum loads.

Quality by design
Manufacturing propellants entirely in-house ensures their high quality. All Vihtavuori powders are made
using nitro-cellulose produced by cotton linters at our own plant. Premium quality Vihtavuori powders
deliver consistently flawless firing performance for you this means reliable reloading and ammunition
you demand.
Each stage of the production process is subject to stringent quality control by the Vihtavuori experts
to ensure that each production lot has the exact ballistic performance required. Each and every batch
produced is inspected by comparing them to selected reference batches.
All Vihtavuori powders for small arms are extruded propellants. Propellant kernals are perforated
cylinders of various sizes, flat ribbon flakes or other shapes extruded for special applications. The grain
geometry of different powder types provides the wanted combustion characteristics for the chosen
cartridge application.
The estimated shelf-life of Vihtavuori powders is a minimum of 10 years, if stored and sealed in its
original containers at a temperature circa 20C and relative humidity of 55 -65%.
All Vihtavuori reloading powders are packed into bottles and canisters and further in fiberboard boxes.
