This is getting more interesting as information leaks out. I was told that General Dynamics was on contract with Magkor to make Black Mag'3 about the time the clumping issue came up. A source that I believe is reliable claims that GD cut some corners in the production causing some problems with the powder resulting in a cut off of the agreement between them and Magkor. Now we see that it might look like GD may have had an iron in the fire to come out with a competitive powder before they went into the agreement with Magkor. Sure wish I knew all the real information. I suppose it all the information was correct and could be proven it would spawn lawsuits and we would never see either of the powders on the market. I am not saying that this is true I am only saying that it might look that way to some.
