RE: A Manufacture's Perspective
I agree that this is a good idea. The one big problem I see is what I experienced with GM when I worked for them. As the companies get larger they tend to become entrenched on the idea that they are so important and have such expensive help that there is no chance that an outsider could have any ideas that are better than theirs. I ran into a similar situation with Magkor when they tried to market the Black Mag Thundercharge. I did not believe that there was a large market for a set charge with a company selected bullet. Now that MDM has the reins they are still trying to market that idea. I have very good results with Black MagIII as a loose powder. Marketing was the downfall of Magkor. If MDM would concentrate on the loose powder only and fix the marketing problems I think it might have a chance. I talked with them at the NRA Convention but I think they did not believe me. I hope they can make the Black Mag work on the market as it would be my choice for my Knight KRB which will not shoot BM209. I think others with side hammer guns would also get on the Black Mag bandwagon if they could market and control the costs to be competitive. Limiting to loose powder might help to keep the costs down.
