The invention refers to a cylindrical sleeve (6) for receiving propellant powder (4) with a dimensionally stable jacket wall of combustible, felted fibre material and an insert (5) of a textile fabric in the jacket wall, and to a method of manufacturing a cylindrical sleeve (6).

A method for manufacturing a housing enclosing a pyrotechnic charge and an installation for implementing this method includes inserting a pyrotechnic charge into a charging volume laterally delimited by a rigid cylindrical charging wall and into a lower part by a first element of the housing to be obtained; positioning a second element of the housing to be obtained of cylindrical shape above the inserted pyrotechnic charge and in the extension of the cylindrical charging wall. The second element has a lateral cylindrical wall of the same shape and diameter as the cylindrical charging wall and is able to cooperate with the first element, and jointly translating the second element and the cylindrical charging wall relative to the first element such as to make the second element cooperate with the first element and form the housing enclosing the pyrotechnic charge.

A case jacket made of a felted, in particular combustible fibrous material, comprising a cylindrical case jacket portion and a calotte-shaped case bottom which is connected to an end of the cylindrical case jacket portion, wherein the bottom-side end of the case jacket portion has a first inside diameter and a first outside diameter, and wherein the case bottom has an annular connecting edge towards the case jacket portion, which has a second inside diameter that is smaller than the first inside diameter, and a second outside diameter which is smaller than the second outside diameter, includes a conical connecting portion whose one end has the first inside diameter and the first outside diameter and is connected to the bottom-side end of the case jacket portion, and whose other end has the second inside diameter and the second outside diameter and is connected to the connecting edge of the case bottom, wherein the angle of inclination of the inner wall and the angle of inclination of the outer wall of the conical connecting portion with respect to the cylinder axis are not more than 10?.

A muzzle loaded ammunition round having a bullet and a consumable cartridge case. The cartridge case is hollow and is filled with at least one propellant composition, the cartridge case being constructed from a consumable material, such as foamed celluloid. The bullet is commonly engaged to the propellant composition at least via the cartridge case, the propellant composition having a charge weight.
