Nammo is the Parent company of LAPUA and are in negotiations

with the FRENCH OWNERS of the Finland Powder Plant.

The French Company has stated if not sold they will close it.

They are not interested in the SPORTSMAN MARKET.

The Plant employs about 100 people.

If NAMMO secures the purchase, that will be good news to the

users of these GREAT Vithavuori smokeless powders

ESPECIALLY COMPETITIVE SHOOTERS, I like them for THEIR REALLY CLEAN BURN AND ACCURACY.

Let's keep our fingers crossed that the deal goes through.

I don't like to hear of any powder company going under without being taken over by someone else.

As of the 1st, It is looking like a done deal:

Also at the Lapua website is quite a lot of reloading data for the Vihtavuori powders.

In fact a whole manual is available at:
