5oz Silvertowne Silver 12 Gauge Shell

Each 5 oz Silver Bullet is made from 999 pure silver and is modeled after the ammunition for the 12 Gauge Shotgun. The bullet is 56.0 mm (2.2047 inches) tall and 20.3 mm (0.79921 inch) wide at the base. Just like a real shotgun shell, each 5 oz Silver Bullet 12-Gauge Shell features ribbing around the top rim, a spiral design on the top, and a ring on the bottom. The “gauge” refers to how many of the shells fit in a pound of lead, so 12 gauge requires 12 shells to contain one pound of lead. In North America, shotguns are typically used recreationally to hunt small game like birds or defensively and for close quarters by the police and the military.
