  D@D, the yellow packaging is pre-WW2. Between the wars, Kynoch produced many military equivalent loads in similar packaging. I have no idea if these were NC or not, nor of when / if they switched to NC in these loads if they used the corrosive originally. I would be inclined to think these are NC as they were intended for the civilian market, but in the absence of any reference data, my advice would be to do a primer test (pulling bullet, holding empty case with pliers / vice grips in a vice while striking primer with a pointed object and having a bare steel plate in front of the open case mouth). Probably waaaaay too much trouble for a single box, but still definitive in the absence of clear data.

  OK; I left out the part about letting the plate sit a day or two to see if rust develops on the portion struck by the gases / particles exiting the case mouth. Let me know the results, if you would please.
