An ammunition cartridge cause is shown to comprise a deep, open-ended cup having a base of substantial thickness, having a relatively thin, generally cylindrical wall upstanding from the base and having an annular, peripheral, extraction groove formed in the base, the base having a recess which opens oppositely of the open cup end for receiving a primer cup therein. The cartridge case if formed of a composite metal laminate material having a core metal layer sandwiched between and metallurgically bonded to outer layers of other metal materials. The core metal layer of the laminate material extends as a core throughout the wall of the cup and the base of the cup and is disposed within the cup base to surround the bottom and lateral walls of the primer cup recess to provide adequate case strength in the primer cup area. The core material is arranged within the cup base so that the core material is completely covered by the outer layer material of the laminate at the location of the cartridge extraction groove.
