Dusty is correct, Steve. They cut their staff back last August, and I was one of the casualties.
Bummer... this is the first I’d heard; my apologies for the error.
And thanks for adding useful input on this. Good to know.

Oh, and Dusty, their powders were already EU compliant so there wouldn’t be any changes in their basic composition. The problem goes in the other direction; there’s a number of powders commonly used in the USA that can’t be imported or sold to the European market due to the presence of chemicals like DNT and some others that th EU frowns upon.
Their powders are already the cleanest shooting and best metering stuff I know of. Only improvement I could ask for is better powder temp stability.
Thanks for the input Kevin! The "temp stability issue" is THEE KEY improvement for me. I have always loved their powders>>>>now that they have captured that trait too, I think they will be my choice of propellants, once they hit the shores here in their new and improved form.That’s already being, or has been done with most of the powders in the line. As I’ve mentioned previously, th I Finns are a very quiet, low-key people, and they don’t tend to make much noise about things which might be construed as “tooting their own horn.” But yes, the temp stability issues have been an area in which they’ve made some major inprovements.
Should be similar
Found 4 Pounds of N-160 at, $30.00 per lb., minus the $5.00 per Pound Rebate, then Blended it, since from 2 different shops and lot #'s !Easier to find and less money!
I am about to try vt165 with a 6.5 and 150gr sierras. Hope it goes well.I sure do love N-160, in my .243 Win with, the 87 grain V Maxes and 87 gr. HVLD's !
Still testing, but,.."SWEET" so far ! Coyote's,.. look out !
Like stated earlier, N-160 is slightly slower than, 4350 but MUCH,.."Cooler" Burn !
I've read where, a lot of guys are liking N-165 for, the heavier 105-110 grain, 6mm's.
