An ammunition cartridge comprising a casing body that defines a hollow interior configured to receive a projectile is provided. The casing body contains a polymer composition that includes a polyarylene sulfide and an impact modifier. The impact modifier includes an epoxy-functionalized polymer. Further, the polymer composition exhibits a notched Charpy impact strength of about 6 kJ/m.sup.2 or more as determined at a temperature of 23° C. in accordance with ISO Test No. 179-1:2010.

The present invention provides a method of making a substantially cylindrical insert by metal injection molding by providing a primer insert injection mold to form a substantially cylindrical metal primer insert, injection molding the metal injection molding feedstock into the primer insert injection mold to form a first substantially cylindrical metal primer insert having a first size; debinding the first substantially cylindrical metal primer insert to remove the first binding agent; and sintering the first substantially cylindrical metal primer insert to remove the second binding agent and form the substantially cylindrical metal primer insert having a second size.

The present invention provides polymeric ammunition cartridges having a generally cylindrical neck having a projectile aperture at a first end, a shoulder comprising a shoulder top connected to the generally cylindrical neck opposite a shoulder bottom, a side wall extending from the shoulder, a groove positioned around the side wall, a skirt connected circumferentially about the groove to extend away from the groove, wherein the groove and the skirt are adapted to mate to a polymer cartridge.
