Yes, that is what it says on the box. The bullet itself feels and looks strange; like it has a plastic sheath on it...

Ely is another ammo manufacturer. I think Aguila gets primed brass from them, or at least uses Ely's formula, probably under license.

I had always thought that rimfire primer was just mixed & poured around the circumference of the shell, but reading on another site, they said that the primer is a string/ribbon coiled along the rim of the shell...

That kinda makes sense. I've taken apart old British .303 cartridges and was fascinated by the cordite 'rope' in each cartridge...Seems easier to manage, just measure a length & cut it and stick it in the case...No weighing!
