Anyone try Independence ammo? Blue & white box with big star logo. Says made by Ammunition Accessories Inc. Lewiston, ID.
No web site that I could find.
38special 130gr FMJ (blunt nose) rounds look good, $10/box/50.

Appears to be a division of Speer/CCI/Blount/ATK/whatever they're called this week.

Interesting.


Hope this helps some.

WOW!! thanks, Pat,
looks like maybe a low cost division of Speer, like UMC is low cost part of Remington. Haven't fired the stuff yet, but it sounds OK.

I have used their 38sp ammo and found it quite satisfactory,if a little dirty,hope this helps Doug

What weight is their 9mm?

 

[pff]

You're most welcome, as always. Glad to have been of help.

From reading the first link, they seem to be a military contract division, so maybe they sell the overruns?

That outfit has some cool toys, like a 50mm rapid-fire gun.

Pat

thanks again, Pat,
went and looked at some ammo boxes and one CCI box I have says on the side Ammunition Associates, Inc. CCI/Speer operations Lewiston, ID. Really a big conglomerate with million$ gov. contracts, etc.

Oh, BTW, jonnyc, the stuff I got is 38special 130gr. Haven't seen any 9mm from them.

 

[jonnyc]

Just saw some today...115gr.

Do you suppose it's surplus military ammo they are putting on the commercial market to get rid of it? And put it in a new box named Independence.
I've never seen it before this year.

No, it's def commercial, h/s is (* I * caliber).
