VIHTAVUORI, which load for 470 NE
      #67301 - 18/12/06 06:44 AM

In the democratic republique of france one can use only our powder, the VECTAN, and the VIHTAVUORI from Finland.

I am looking for loads for both these powders.

Erik D gave me : Viht 160 95 grains to begin with

N E 450 N°2 gave me : Viht 140 85 grains to begin with.

Have You others recipes? Thanks.


PS : seems its not a democratic nonsense problem, it's because the regulations are so fussy and the market so reduced that only Vihta has the stamina to persevere.

Does the Chapuis factory have a load that they recommend?

Yes.

I asked them and I am still waiting for.
This Chapuis family is not good with marketing and advertising.

Hi,

In Norway we also have limited brands to chose among. However, a Hunting magazine in Norway did a test-shoot on a Merkel with 90grs of N150, so I'd say thumbs up for that load: The load was chronographed and found to be reasonably fast(not quite the advertised speed), and it regulated beautifully in the testgun.
I've heard Vh N150 90 grains is pretty close to the Federal standard load. I don't want any responsibility of the use of this load, but it seems like a decent load to me. I've got a Merkel .470 myself, and I intend to try it with Woodleigh softs when the weather gets warmer. Wintertime is hunting and not shooting-season for me..

A mail to the Vh company might work out?
