gun powder explosion
« on: May 15, 2010, 01:33:42 PM »
I believe MDM, a muzzle loader manufacture headquartered in the northeast corner of VT and who have a manufacturing plant in Colebrook, NH had a black powder substitute explosion at the NH site.  I heard that there were 2 fatalities.  Has anyone else heard any more and what powder do they manufacture.

Dangerous occupation!
If you will recall several years ago GOEX plant exploded I believe at that time they were in the Northeast. They later moved the operation to Minden, Louisiana where a few years ago they had another explosion. They are still in production in Minden.
