Independence Shotshells
 
Has anyone ever reloaded Independence Shotshells? I cannot find any recipes or references in any of the principal manuals.

I have a few boxes worth of empties. I'll likely just stick with reloading my Federals. No biggie, just curious.

Are they by any chance someone's house brand? I know Sears, Monkey Ward, and Western Auto (to name a few) used to do this by putting their house brand name on Winchester, Remington, or Federal shells. The picture looks Winchester shell cases.

From what I can gleen off the internet, they are made in Spain by the same folks who make "RIO" shotshells, and are imported by ATK (the same folks who own Federal ammunition).

My only thought is less shot n more powder= sloppy patterns. I've had this with other
bargan brands!JMO...I've been wrong before.
