A propellant charge used in a muzzleloading bolt action firearm having a cylindrical casing body for insertion within a breech end of a barrel. The casing body enclosing a propellant charge of predetermined amount, and having a base at the back end with a rim radially extending outwards with a forward surface facing the cylindrical body forward end and mounted flush with the barrel breech end upon insertion. A slot is formed proximate the rim to receive an extension or protrusion of an extractor for removal after firing when the bolt is moved away from the barrel.

The present invention provides a subsonic ammunition including a polymeric casing body; a propellant insert positioned in the propellant chamber to reduce the internal volume of the propellant chamber; a propellant disposed and confined within the propellant chamber; a primer insert positioned at the body base and in communication with the propellant chamber; a primer and diffuser disposed in the primer insert in combustible communication with the propellant; and a projectile frictionally fitted in the mouth in combustible communication with the propellant.
