Thank you Tim,
but, oups, I don't understand meaning of these words, what is the purpose of this shell ?

Minenaz,

My understanding, is the inert projectile is made to fully represent the HE filled projectile. Thus making it possible test the propellant by firing an inert projectile with the same characteristics as the filled projectile.
