I ran the Remington clay target business from 1991-2001. The boxes you have are older than that and your guess as to what is in the box is right on. They are Yellow Dome and made in 1971.
During my tenure in that business I sold over 3 Billion of them! When the "Pat Trap" came along for the trapshooting game, the Blue Rock was too fragile for those machines with the high-volume stacking and machine vibration. In spite of all that was attempted to remedy the situation, we could not find a formula that would prevent around 10% breakage.
White Flyer, which made a tougher target, went through the Pat Traps with little breakage and they, of course, dominate the Trap game today.
At one time Remington had three plants; Findlay, Ohio, Ada, Oklahoma and Athens, Georgia. The Athens plant was closed before 1979. As noted, the Findlay and Ada plants closed in 2008.
