Where They Go
On the fridge, obviously – holding up the shoot day card, the peg draw or the shopping list. They also stick to a steel gun cabinet door, a toolbox, a filing cabinet or a workshop board.
What They Are Made From
Each magnet starts as the brass head of a fired 12 bore cartridge – the metal base with the maker’s headstamp. The plastic hull is removed, the head is cleaned and polished, and a ferrite magnet is fitted. Headstamps vary, so a set of five usually shows a mix of cartridge makers.
Gold or Silver?
- Gold – classic brass tone, the look most people picture on a shotgun cartridge
- Silver – nickel-plated heads with a brighter finish
Both are the same size and made the same way.
Prefer to Make Your Own?
We sell the base caps on their own for crafts – gold brass and silver nickel – with no magnet. For a bigger single magnet, see the magnetic stubby shotgun cartridge, or browse all our bullet magnets and cartridge magnets.
Matching gifts for a shooter: the 12 gauge shotgun keyring and the empty chamber safety flag.

FAQ
Q: How many magnets are in a set? Five.
Q: Can I choose the colour? Yes – gold or silver, selected at checkout. Each set is one colour.
Q: Are they made from real cartridges? Yes – each is the head of a genuine fired 12 bore cartridge.
Q: How strong is each shotgun magnet? They use ferrite magnets – strong enough to hold cards, photos and notes on a fridge or steel cabinet.
Q: Are they safe? Yes. The cartridges have been fired and are inert – no powder or live primer. Always check with your airline before travelling abroad with this item.
Q: Will all five look the same? Similar, but headstamps and small marks vary because every cap comes from a different fired cartridge.
