All yellow box UMC/Rem that I have seen was brass. Try sticking a magnet to it.

When it says steel case it may be referring to the metal makeup of the bullet having a steel core. The shells oughta be brass. Admittedly, I haven't bought much ammo in the last many years... but I don't recall UMC (Remington's cheap brand) being anything but good solid and reloadable brass shells.
