You've got a severe case of ammo.
Your problem seems to be thats its bottled up inside these sardine cans.
As a medical professional I recommend an intensive course of fire followed by further checkups.

Looks like corrugated cardboard to me.
Yeah, that's definately cardboard. Move those two tins of Russian 7.62x39 ball fmj out of the way so we can see it better.

Yeah we're a bunch of smart asses to say the least.
Are you looking for years? An idea of whats inside? Is it corrosive?
First question from us: where/when did you get it? What was it sold to you as?

Well I was just hoping someone could "translate" the type of powder. I've got the rest, but my google-foo is failing me on that part. I don't really care, it's going down the barrel either way, just kinda interested in what all the markings mean. In English.
What more do you want to know? BУфп is a reference to the type of powder used, the nc is a reference to fmj, steel core, the rc is a reference to the case, probably steel, copper dipped, or laquered.

Here's what I found:
вуфл:
pyroxylin powder brand VUfl. Pyroxylin powder, smokeless. The letter "V" is-a rifle, the letter "U" - reduced (reduced geometrical grain size - less than pyroxylin powder VT) the letters "PL" - powder phlegmatized (added deterrent to reduce the burning rate). Used in 7.62 mm cartridge model 1943
"133/78 K":
133 stands for gunpowder batch number, 78 - year of production, K - factory code.
"ПСгс":
steel core bullet with steel case
Sorry couldn't find what "Л-74-79-711" means - it's probably some factory code.
Lol this place can be funny. People spend TONS of time learning every mark on an sks or other milsurp gun, had I asked about that no one would question WHY I want to know. How is this different? I'm INTERESTED to know what all the different markings mean. Plain an simple.
Thanks
