Last year the MDM plant that made BlackMag3 powder blew up and burned up; killing two employees.
The owner of Black Mag3 has surrendered his license to manufacture explosives. Sadly, there will be no BlackMag3 unless some other powder company makes it.

A company and its owner have agreed not to employ people to work with explosives to settle a $1.2 million OSHA fine in connection with an explosion that killed two workers.
Black Mag and the company’s owner, Craig Sanborn have surrendered the company’s explosives manufacturing license and will
permanently refrain from employing workers in any explosives-related business.
On May 14, 2010, an
explosion at the company’s Colebrook, NH, facility killed two employees while they were manufacturing a gunpowder substitute.
OSHA issued 54 citations (4 egregious, 12 willful, 36 serious, 2 other-than-serious) with total penalties of $1,232,500.
