shotgun shells
Gauge-measured ammo loads
Shotgun shells are cylindrical cartridges designed for shotguns, containing shot (small pellets), a slug (single projectile), or other loads like rock salt or rubber pellets.
Unlike rifle or pistol ammunition, shotgun shells have a plastic or paper hull crimped at one end, with a brass base holding the primer.
They come in various gauges, with 12-gauge being most common.
