Dark Red 28 Gauge Shotgun Shell Hulls — Once-Fired, Empty, High Brass
These are genuine, once-fired 28 gauge shotgun shell hulls in a deep dark red (burgundy) color — real high-brass hulls from mixed estate lots, individually inspected for rust, dents, and cracks before shipping. Each hull is empty and spent, with the primer intact but fully inert. These 2 3/4" hulls are a favorite for bullet jewelry, keychains, and craft projects. Browse the full 28 Gauge Shotgun Shells & Hulls collection or the High Brass Shotgun Shells collection, and explore related pieces like Winchester AA 28 Gauge Red Shotgun Shells, Fiocchi Red 28 Gauge Empty Hulls, and Herter's Black 28 Gauge Hulls. Available in 5, 12, or 50-count packs, ready to craft with straight out of the bag.

FAQs
Is this a real fired shotgun shell or a replica? Real, genuinely once-fired 28 gauge hulls from mixed estate lots — not a cast or molded replica.
Is the primer removed? No — the primer is intact but fully spent and inert. It cannot fire and cannot be used or converted into live ammunition.
Will the color match exactly across pieces? These hulls come from mixed estate lots, so expect minor natural variation in shade and headstamp from hull to hull.
