It says 440 rounds of ammo, open me and shoot me. :)
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

You guys are funny, lol. This might help. It's Bulgarian (10 in the circles) 1971 LPS Steelcore (painted silvertip) That's what the Cyrilic symbol лпс means and what the Silver stripe of paint is on the can. The tin below doesn't have the silver stripe painted on it because it's mid 80s and they'd stopped painting the tips of steelcore rounds. Same ammo though. Not all the older silver tip ammo cans had the stripe either.

The silver stripe on the can means silver tip. This is the standard 147 grain round. Steel. Core, copper washed casing.

Isn't this also the boattailed bullet type ammo? I haven't pulled a bullet yet but that's my understanding.
