Looks like it must have been Prvi Partisan?

Unfortunately yes, it was the Prvi Partizan plant. Yahoo news article:

I was working at the NRA show when it was in southern California at the International Cartridge Collecters booth umteen years ago. The people at the Sierra booth asked us if we wanted to go throught their plant. Every one said they had nothing better to do. All you could see was a-holes and elbows when we hit the doors going out of then show running to the cars. I can tell you that their plant looked like he PP plant after the explosion. All their bullet makeing machines look like they were pre bow and arrow and they had 30gals cans of bullets in all stages of manufacturing stacked aginst the walls 12' high. There was no tie downs or racks. They were just sitting aginst the wall. This in So. Cal just east of LA. I would not want to have been in that building in even a small earthquake. They moved to Missouri soon after. Did evey wonder why they moved to Missouri? Take a wild guess at the name of the state that has the largest deposit of lead in the world.

I got it on good authority they were trying to do some Blue Dot load development, and double charged a case....

I heard that it was started by a varmint hunter who took a shot, missed and hit the plant with his ricochet.

Has Hotsh#t been out of the country lately???????

Yes, and even worse, they had received several notifications from HotCore that this practise was extremely dangerous but continued doing so,

I heard the tech absently grabbed a caliper that measured sillymeters and compared his measurment to ones measured in inches.

Would it be rude to inquire about surplus brass sales ?.

I'm sure glad to see no one is wasting any time expressing condolences to the families of those killed in the explosion. Serves them right for manufacturing good products at prices shooters could afford.

No, if anything in Serbia besides metrical, they would have measured in werst, not in inch...
