I didn't see it on the local news, or just must have missed it. (Klamath Falls). Glad no one was hurt.

it's going to be hard on thr AMU load fro camp Perry, They use the Nosler 185 grain JHP for .45 long line. It looks like no one was badly injured.

Very interesting since the TV report mentions a "flash in the ammunition testing tunnel." Does anybody else remember a flash fire from unburned powder in the Glock USA facility in Smyrna, GA some years back where at least one employee was killed? As I recall unburned powder accumulated on the floor of the range ignited and caused a major fire. It will be interesting to follow the Nosler story and see if there are any similarities.
