A propellant charge comprising a matrix of granular propellant having interspersed therethrough compacted molded bodies of propellant. The density of the granular propellant is less than the density of the molded propellant bodies. The use of the mixed propellant charge enables a cartridge case of given dimensions to be loaded with a greater weight of propellant thereby enabling the achievement of greater projectile velocities in any given gun-ammunition system.
