Shotgun shells are centerfire but are made up of a paper or plastic cylinder with a brass base or head. The shell is filled with powder followed by a cupped plastic wad filled with birdshot or much larger buckshot.

How many shotgun shells does it take to fill up the moon?

The moon is very big about 1/4 of the size of the Earth (it looks small because it is a long way away). The moon is also solid (like the Earth) and thus there is no room in it to be filled up with shotgun shells. If the moon was empty then you would have to turn 1/4 of the Earth into shotgun shells to fill the volume the Moon takes up.
