What head stamp is this??

[David LaPell]

I am not familiar with this headstamp on this .38 Special brass I had reloaded. Is it Imperial??

I think it's Independence Ammo.

Independence Ammunition : Ammunition To Go

Foreign made, imported by Speer?

Sir, that's Independence out of Lewiston, ID. It's common range ammo around here, similar to Magtech or PMC. The Independence ammo I have (.357) is marked Made in USA. I've heard that Independence is associated with Speer/CCI, but don't know that for a fact.

Hope this helps, and Semper Fi.

*I*

In KY it is Independence, BUT

it is also
*I* India - Jubbelpore Arsenal

Jubbelpore is normally I only, but I understand they did some loadings at one time with the *I*.

As noted by others, *I* is indeed Independence brand. Early production was made by CBC of Brazil. Indep ammo is currently made by CCI (Ammunition Accessories Inc), Lewiston, ID. (Same as CCI's Blazer Brass).
