Looking for some info on a 12 gauge shelll:

Says Lead magnum, ce8spw

Heavy flat faced lead slug? What’s the application? I was told these are a “forestry application”

Cool thanks for the quick reply. Any usage aside from fun? And are they worth anything?

Make sure its a 12 gauge and not an 8 gauge as the label would suggest

I wouldn’t shoot it in any normal fire arm the guns intended for their use are sliding breech more like artillery then a gun.
