Agree with previous response……if you’re asking age….im going with modern for both box and bullets.
So what is modern for age?

I see where the hardware on the box isn't old.

Though the tarnish (brown and blotchy)look on the lead seems older.

Just throwing this against the wall.

Could the lead be old, and a box was constructed to display, or to sell.

Does the actual style of the lead dictates age?

Pattern of bullets doesn’t look old to me (others may disagree). The brown you see on the bullets is grease/lube, not patina. Those were, in my opinion bought/poured by someone who shot blackpowder either recreationally or for hunting. I’d guess 1970s or newer.

Agree it looks like modern reloader bullets. The box would be too awkward to use in hunting but would be good for target shooting, especially bench rest. It might be for a 10 shot match.
