Does anyone know what happened to Vihtavuori? Our local gun store can not get any and has not for 3-4 months. My gun loves VV-N133.

Have you checked powder Valley, or any other source rather than just your local source?
PM KevinThomas here, maybe he can help.
VV & Lapua both (and Berger Bullets!) are under a new importer now, Capstone Group out of Missouri I think.

Yes, the Capstone Precision Group US distribution facility at Sedalia MO has been up and running for a month or two now. It is owned by parent company Nammo Oy and deals with all group products in the US whether made in Finland, Germany, or in-country - Lapua, Viht, Berger, and SK ammunition. Kevin will be able to say what the powder position is.

Hey guys,
Most of the Vihtavuori line is on hand and can be ordered by your local distributors. As mentioned, we've changed the importation and distribution set up here in the US as of last January, which caused a slight hiccup. In the long run, however, the powders should become more readily available and have to go through fewer hands to get to the end user. Our N133 is readily available and in stock right now, and you should start being able to find some of the other powders in the line that haven't been readily available (such as N120) in the past. There's still a few that we're trying to catch up with demand for, but we'll get there.
Thanks!

How about n130?
Have to check our stocks, but I believe N13o was one of those powders that hadn't been imported regularly before we formed Capstone. We aim to change that, as it seems to have some pretty decent applications.

yes it used to be a very good powder and hasnt been available for quite a few years. most went to lt30 lately. I would love to see it back
I'm finding a lot of gun shops have carried it in the past but stopped selling it because of the price and it didn't sell well.
Yes this was a little shop but carriers a good selection of reloading supplies and fire arms i was surprised to see it,i do not remember seeing it last year.
