I'll third this! The commies aren't known for rigid quality control standards, which is not good when dealing with explosives. I'd gladly pay a bit more for powder of high quality from a company that knows it could be sued for anything less which keeps them on the straight and narrow. The chinese company, owned by the communist government, is untouchable both civally and criminally by the U.S. consumer, and therefore has no incentive to make a safe product.
