Hi......here are the bad boys you are describing (6.35 = .25 cal)...with some of their later smaller friends.....they actually go quite well in older guns!

I would say personally the larger tin and contents are older then 1970's.......the other Bimoco tins in the top photo are from this period, but the actual "cotton reel" pellet shape was around well before that, and is was a long running design over in Germany I am led to believe.

Compare the basic tin graphics to these old German slugs;
