Anyone else get this email? Apparently, their entire main warehouse is a total loss.

That really sucks.

Yes, I got it this morning. I hope they have good insurance and can rebound quickly.

Very much a bummer. Hopefully they get things cleaned up & back on track, kinda painful.

My first time hearing about it.

Good that nobody was inside to get burnt up.

I don't know how big a market share Powder Valley has - had - but they seemed a big player. But are they big enough to reduce overall availability of reloading powder?

Here’s a somewhat recent update after the fire. They are pressing forward with rebuilding.

They are known for powder and reloading supplies but have a fair amount of other things available.

Email in the last day or two, they are up for orders now.

Good news!

I'm very curious about the undetermined cause. I wonder if they had any really old propellant stored in that warehouse. If the stabilizer content becomes too depleted in such materials, bad things can happen. There's also a chance of a bad batch where something went very wrong during formulation. Still, both of those chances seem low. I'm wondering if there wasn't more of a practical cause such as an electrical issue that spread to poorly packaged powder or some residue that wasn't cleaned up properly.
