The invention relates to a cartridge (10) with a projectile (11) and a case (12), which is drawn onto the projectile (11) from behind and has a case mouth (13) at the front end, wherein the projectile (11) has a tip (1) and this tip (1) goes over at the rear into a peripheral front driving band (4), which defines the outside diameter of the projectile, and directly adjoining this front driving band (4) in the direction of the projectile base (14) there is arranged in the projectile (11) a peripheral case-mouth receiving space (15), which extends in the axial direction of the projectile (11) and in which the case mouth (13) engages. In order that, when firing, the rotationless part of the projectile is reduced to a minimum and the gas pressure is built up at an early time, it is proposed that an exposed portion (16) of the case-mouth receiving space (15) that extends in the axial direction of the projectile (11) is arranged between the front driving band (4) and the case mouth (13), i.e. the case mouth (13) does not completely fill the case-mouth receiving space (15) in the direction of the nose of the projectile (11). |
