My case is HP 74 IV as well. Just out of curiosity, what does the "IV" stand for?

Very happy with this purchase and can't wait to get to the range, thanks Johnone.

I went deep into the bowels of the Hirtenberger corporate history and found this:

I'll say the "IV" stands for "April" (of 1974) month of production.

Seems to be confirmed from other Hirtenberger headstamp descriptions (arty shells) I see online as well... The roman numerals are the months.

Anyone with their received HP brass see another roman numeral / decimal year on the headstamps?
 
Pretty sure the crates are marked with an indicator that they're berdan, small circle with two little u's in it.
 
Also, anyone shooting this stuff - I will buy your brass, I will pay better than you'll get discarding or scraping it but not boxer primed brass prices.
