A friend dropped off 4 boxes of these. Any idea what the load is? Black powder? Smokeless?

Based off the velocity figure, I'd say smokeless. Maybe with that light weight bullet could be black.
Can you hear the powder rattle around when you shake one?
Some shake a tiny bit (stethoscope on the case) most do not. The boxes were still sealed with the label so I don't believe that they are anything but original. As far as the velocity goes, I've noticed that a lot of advertised velocities are a bit optimistic, but I don't think that it's out of range for an express loading like this with black powder.
I'm going to have to dump one to find out.

You still end up with 80 pieces of really good brass!!

And a little stash of 3031.
Did you find a wad in the case? if you did dump all the loads
