FAQs

Are these authentic once-fired 16 gauge shells? Yes — genuine once-fired RST shells, not a molded or machined replica.

Are these shells empty and inert? Yes — completely inert, with no propellant and no live primer. The seated primer is spent.

Can these be used for wedding boutonnieres and craft projects? Yes — their 16 gauge size and open hull design make them a popular base for boutonnieres, lapels, and rustic wedding decor.

Is this a smaller gauge than your standard 12 gauge shells? Yes — 16 gauge is a step down in size from 12 gauge, a good fit for a more delicate boutonniere.

Will all shells be the same manufacturer? Yes — genuine RST.
