Default Anybody familiar with Independence Ammo?

I got an email message from Natchez Shooters Supplies that they have Independence .357Mag ammo available. I never heard of this ammo; is it worth buying? anybody have any problems with this ammo.? Thanks for any info on this.

I have used Independence 9mm. I seems to be the same as blazer and Win White box. It was FMJ and i used it just to punch paper and maybe an IDPA match. A while back, but I don't remember any malfunctions. Shot thru a M&P full size. Price was around $10 a box of 50 if I remember correctly. Haven't seen any around lately though.

Thumbs up Good ammo, IMO !

I've probably burned through a dozen boxes. I was impressed that it is good inexpensive range ammo. If I didn't handload I would buy it again without any reservations. I like the stuff

It's the standard range stock in these parts. I've shot quite a bit of it with great results.

I have been pleased with their .45 ACP stuff. As good as Winchester White Box and worlds ahead of S&B.

I personally have used a fair amount of Independence, in various calibers.
It compares favorably with Winchester white box. I prefer it on UMC because I think it is cleaner. It is dependable.
