A muzzle loaded ammunition round (101) having a bullet (102) and a consumable cartridge case. The cartridge case (104) is hollow and is filled with at least one propellant composition, the cartridge case (104) being constructed from a consumable material, such as foamed celluloid. The bullet (102) is commonly engaged to the propellant composition (107) at least via the cartridge case (104), the propellant composition (107) having a charge weight. L'invention concerne une cartouche de munition (101) à chargement par la bouche, comprenant une balle (102) et une douille consumable. La douille (104) est creuse et remplie d'au moins une composition d'agent propulsif, la douille (104) étant construite à partir d'un matériau consumable tel que du celluloïd expansé. La balle (102) est normalement en contact avec la composition d'agent propulsif (107) au moins par l'intermédiaire de la douille (104), la composition d'agent propulsif (107) ayant un poids de charge donné.
