In the late 60's and early 70's CIL also manufactured a line of shotgun shells called Redline 12 which was similar to a Canuck shell , in that it had 11/8 oz. of lead and 3.25 drams of powder, they were of course plastic hulls by then and we only saw them in 12 ga. at the Mohawk station on 16th Ave and Edmonton Trail , never saw them at any other store. During the last year that I saw them, around 71 or 72, they added a new load of 1.25 oz. of lead and 3.5 drams of powder, just one step lower than an Imperial with 3.75 drams of powder. On the box in smal print it stated Canadian Industries Ltd., and then they disappeared.
