Old .357 ammo... is it safe?

I came across some .357 ammo with the head-stamp R-P on it. I understand that the brass is Remington Peters. However, I'm unsure if it is factory or some one's hand-load. Some of it is FMJ and some is SJHP. And none of it has the distinct sound of powder rattling when shaken.
Is there any way to be sure of what I have?

Fuller case of powder common in 357 loads, not so much with 38 Special.

Back when I carried a Smith model 66 at work, I carried some FMJ magnums for use on cars if needed. They punch thru glass and car doors pretty well.
