Seems they had a fire early in the morning. No one injured but the building has damage.

Powder Valley just posted pictures of the damage and for all intents and purposes the destruction was total.

That's a shame. We will now probably see suppliers raise prices... Supply & Demand

That is sad, it will be a while before Powder Valley gets back up on its feet. They have been using reasonable prices compared to some other suppliers. Hopefully soon they be up and running.

Glad no one was injured. I seem to remember Nosler coming back from a big fire some years ago, Pac-Nor barrels too.
Was there a stock maker that burned quite a while ago?

I really am sorry to hear this. They have been one of most reasonable online places to buy powder. Wishing them the best in recovery and rebuild.

I had a barrel order with pacnor when they burned. I felt so bad for the family ( outstanding people by the way) that I just didn't bother to call about my measly barrel when they just lost their entire livelihood.
A month goes by and Kathy calls me to tell me that my barrel was one of five that was out getting fluted when the fire happened.
I still have that barrel as a good luck charm.

I honestly believe that the hoarding over the last few years has come to an end! Powders are more available, still more bullets than ever, primers….. I think people have stocked up for their entire life!!

Man, that's a blow to us who've counted on them for reasonable prices, in stock items, and great customer service over the years. But the main takeaway is no person was injured and they'll eventually be back up and running. I only hope this doesn't shock the loonies into panic buying and hoarding, just when we're starting to see the end of it.
