Shotgun Shells - Types, Uses, and Safety Guide #3082273 (License: Personal Use)

The image shows two classic 12-gauge shotgun shells with red plastic hulls and brass bases; one stands vertically while the other rests diagonally, revealing its primer and crimped end. These shells are commonly loaded with lead or steel shot for hunting, clay pigeon shooting, or home defense, depending on the payload and wad configuration. Their ribbed hulls aid in extraction and ejection reliability in semi-automatic and pump-action shotguns.
