Black Empty Shotgun Shells

Black Hulls — 12, 16, 28 Gauge & More

Black is one of the most versatile colors here — sleek, high-contrast, and available across more gauges than most other colors in this shop (12, 16, 28, and 410). Beyond loose shells, this collection includes black bullet slices, keychains, dummy rounds, and blank (unmarked) hulls in several finishes.

Popular Uses

Black is a favorite for steampunk and gothic-style crafts — several listings here are made specifically with that aesthetic in mind. It's also a wedding staple, with multiple blank hull options (silver-bottom, copper-bottom, and plain) for boutonnieres where a clean look matters. Black is one of the most common school and team colors, and it's associated with melanoma/skin cancer awareness, worth knowing if you're sourcing for an awareness event.
