Genuine Once-Fired Federal HOA Hulls — Unmarked, Ready for Boutonnieres
These are genuine once-fired Federal HOA dark red (burgundy/maroon) shotgun shells with gold-colored bottoms, individually hand-polished with no markings on the hulls. The HOA hull has a higher-gloss, heavier-bodied, smooth finish with no ribbing — a distinct feel from our standard Federal dark red shells. There may be some normal wear or marks from the firing process. Free shipping on every order.
Looking for a rifle-brass alternative for boutonnieres? See our flared .308 brass shells, also great for wedding and lapel pin projects. Prefer the standard ribbed finish instead? See our standard Federal dark red shells. Browse the full DIY Boutonnieres & Wedding Decor collection.
