People are always hesitant to spend extra money on quality powders. I have run Vihtavuori powder for all my competition guns for a few reasons:
1. Very consistent metering in Dillon presses
2. Not temperature sensitive
3. Consistent performance on the chronograph
4. EXTREMELY clean
I have attached a picture of FIRED cases for a range session. They could probably be reloaded again without cleaning if I wanted to!

A big bonus is that it's a very "fluffy" powder too, so easy to spot a double charge. I saw an unfortunate gun kaboom at the BC Provincials this last weekend so I decided to do some testing.
Top row is an empty case, N320 @ 3.5gr, and a double charge
Bottom row is an empty case, Titegroup @ 3.4gr, double charge, triple charge.
Cases are Winchester sized and primed. These are the loads I used to get ~910fps with a 147 Campro projectile.
Too many toys, too little time ...
Just bought some n340 and really like how clean it's burns in my pistols.
No kidding how easy it is to double charge (even triple charge) TG; dirty powder but CHEAP if you don't go Kaboom.

Great visual! Vihtavuori is definitely a premium clean burning powder. Hard to double charge.
Always advocate running a powder check system on your progressives though!

Not liking the difference between Titegroup single charge and double charge, especially for my old eyes. I look in each case to confirm there is powder but i hope I would notice that difference.
Working towards Ultra Frequent Flyer status at a glacial pace!
Thanks for posting the pictures of fired cases. I had heard about clean burning VV powders but never actually seen the difference. And the added bonus of safety in avoiding double charges. I'm sold!

N320 is a nice 9 mm powder and I can usually find it when I need it.
