An improved ignition system for a fin-stabilized, high intrusion projectile (10) comprises an elongated boom (14) and a hollow fin assembly (16) which extends rearwardly into an external cartridge case (28) containing a consumable containment bag (30) filled with granular propellant (34), and which fits slidably over a primer (54). The primer (54) comprises a stub flash tube (56) extending through the base (40) of the external cartridge case (28) and a long igniter cartridge (58) fitted within the axial bore of the stub flash tube (56). The outer walls of the igniter cartridge (58) are fabricated from a combustible material such as paper, and the interior of the igniter cartridge (58) is filled with strands of benite or a similar explosive. Both the stub flash tube (56) and the hub (17) of the fin assembly (16) are provided with a plurality of transverse drilled flash holes or openings (60) which permit the flame and hot gases from the benite or the like within the igniter cartridge (58) to spread to the granular propellant (34) in the outer cartridge.
