Unfortunately, I have no experience with Vihtavuori powders. Your best bet will be to find a cross-reference chart, or at least a similar comparison chart to that powder, which I see is your goal to accomplish. Maybe someone else has already done that? That sucks that you cannot buy US powders any longer over there!

I'd start with N110, as that's nearly identical to Hodgdon 110, WIN 296, and Lil Gun:

180 gr bullet= 34.5 grain

200 gr bullet= 33.5 grain

225 gr bullet= 29.5 grain

240 gr bullet= 29 grain

Work up from there and be safe!

Technically, the glass is always full; half liquid, half air....

Don't feel bad, we can't buy them either! I've been looking for a pound of 2400 to show up to my LGS for over a year.

Love me some 2400. I got about 8-10 pounds left which will last me awhile. Brownells has some in stock. https://www.brownells.com/reloading/components/powder/2400-smokeless-powder/?sku=749011970
