Anyone ever use the Vihta Vouri powder. A friend of mine mentioned it. I never heard of it till now.

I've used it in 223 for highpower comp. Mostly, I've used N135 & N540. I do have some N165 for something else. It's a short extruded powder much like Reloader 15 and it measures quite well thru my Dillon set up.

One caviat though, it ain't cheap. The las I looked it was around $175 for a 8lb keg (+ shipping and hazmat).

Since that time I've had a few ideas on correcting this but I see no reason too.
When Benchresters used powders like 8208 and H-322 they were shooting very light neck tensions. Some folks could easily seat a bullet with thier thumb.
When they discovered todays most popular BR powder for the 6ppc (N-133)they quickly found they needed to boost neck tension to .003"-.004" and jam the bullets hard.

Increasing neck tension and ultrasonic cleaning the cases may create enough tension for Viht to work good in the standard long throated 204. Jamming is usually not so easy to do unless your gun likes the big pills.

Interesting....

Can't say I've ever heard of this but then again, I've used mine in AR's. With a auto-loader style weapon I've always felt I needed to full length size and have plenty of neck tension because part of the course is rapid fire.
