When pertaining to a British Ordnance spherical shell it is the weight of the solid shot that nature of gun would fire.
For example, a 32pr gun fired a 6inch dia shot (approximate dia) that weighed about 32lb; and it fired a shell of the same diameter, called a 32pr shell, but weighing significantly less.
