As a former tanker Tony could chip in as well on how the tanks do it. I think probably like our 105 mm rounds.

Well, Tony was on the Leopard tanks, which were all sold off in the Netherlands, and ended up there. In Canada.

As far as I know it was always transported separated. Having the projectiles and shell casings moved as a whole is heavy but more importantly much more dangerous when being hit by (counter battery) shell fire.

Tony also has one hell of a German shell casing collection as well.
