Film, Theater & Prop Production

If you've ever tried to fake a shotgun shell for a production out of a glue stick or resin cast, you know the problem: it never quite reads right on camera or under stage lighting. Real casings solve that instantly — correct weight in an actor's hand, correct light reflection on brass, correct wear and headstamp detail up close. These are 100% inert, spent shells with no gunpowder, no live primer, perfect for films, theater and cosplay. Available individually or in bulk for productions that need a full case of brass for a battle scene, a prop table, or set dressing.

Crafting, Decor & Jewelry

These 100% inert shells are genuine material for wreaths, garlands, ornaments, and other seasonal or year-round decor projects — real brass and real color, not printed plastic. They're equally suited to rustic and country-style home decor, wedding details, and bullet jewelry findings. Mixed-color lots and single-color, single-manufacturer batches are both available depending on whether your project needs variety or a uniform match.

Bulk & Wholesale

Available from small trial quantities up to bulk lots of hundreds of pieces, in a full range of colors and manufacturers. If you need a specific color, quantity, or manufacturer combination not currently listed, contact us — we regularly source and fulfill custom requests.
