FN FiveseveN Forums - Vihtavuori Powders: "I have some info concerning the original powder mfg that FN used. FN used a Powder Manufacture called PB Clermont site:
http://www.pb-clermont.be/v_h01/index_swf.html, a subsidery of Eurenco groupe SNPE from Belgium. This parent company also controls EURENCO Bofors- which is Alliant Powder in the USA, EURENCO Vihtavuori- which is Vihta Vuori distrbuted via Kaltron-Pettibone in the USA and EURENCO France- which is PB Clermont. PB Clermont distributes their powder via Western Powders under the brand name of RAMSHOT. FN will not give out this info but I have researched and found that the TRUE BLUE is the actual powder used for all 5.7 rounds. More details via site:http://www.eurenco.com/en/propellants/index.html I have talked with Don at Kaltron-Pettibone site:http://www.vihtavuori-lapua.com/contact.asp .......He uses and suggest N105. I have more info regarding my test loads and sample SS109 rounds at http://www.armslocker.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28977. Hope this helps. Oh yeah..I am using True Blue, but i will also be testing N105,
and Accurate No. 7. Hope this helps.
