This new 4th Edition of the Vihtavuori Reloading Manual for Centerfire Ammunition combines the previous separate Vihtvuori and Lapua Manuals and is completely updated with loading data for new cartridges such as the 6.5 Grendal, 6.5 X47 Lapua and .500 Smith and Wesson to mention just a few. New powders such as TinStar for cowboy loads and N570 for magnum cartridges are included. Load-data has been updated with many new premium hunting and match grade bullets. The load tables now indicate compressed loads as well as those that fill the case.

Accuracy loads are highlighted in the load tables.These combinations utilize world-famous LAPUA cartridge components and have been identified during factory load-testing as giving consistent pressures and/or muzzle velocities, small groups, or both.
