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).
