Vihtavuori N32C Tin Star

Vihtavuori N32C Tin Star is a specialty powder developed for Cowboy Action Shooting and low-pressure cartridges that traditionally used black powder. With a porous grain design and low bulk density, it is tailored for classic revolver and lever-action rifle calibers such as .38 Special, .44 Special, and .45 Colt. This formulation allows for safe, consistent loads in spacious cases that are often difficult to fill using conventional smokeless powders.

The key advantage of Vihtavuori N32C Tin Star lies in its high loading volume. Compared to standard powders like N320, it offers up to 50% higher case fill, significantly improving loading density in cartridges originally developed for black powder. This enhanced fill ratio helps prevent accidental double charges, making it a safer choice for reloaders working with large-case, low-pressure rounds.

Vihtavuori N32C Tin Star ignites reliably under various conditions and burns extremely clean. It produces minimal fouling, helping shooters maintain performance and reducing the time spent on cleaning. These characteristics are especially beneficial in competition environments where dependable ignition and repeatable results are essential for success in timed shooting stages.

In addition to its Cowboy Action applications, this powder is suitable for a range of other pistol calibers. It is also used for loading subsonic and blank cartridges, thanks to its stable pressure behavior and consistent ignition across multiple platforms. Whether you’re shooting mild plinking loads or building specialized ammunition, Vihtavuori N32C Tin Star offers the consistency and safety experienced reloaders appreciate.

Manufactured in Finland with strict quality control, Vihtavuori N32C Tin Star is available in multiple container sizes for small and high-volume handloaders. Each lot is tested for pressure stability, burn characteristics, and metering behavior. For shooters seeking a purpose-built powder for low-pressure cartridges, this option provides excellent case fill, clean performance, and reliable shot-to-shot accuracy.
