Disc shaped modular propellant charge

The invention relates to a disc-shaped propellant charge module (6) for a layered propellant charge (2) which can be assembled from a plurality of such modules. To obtain a uniform and symmetrical ignition of the propellant charge (2) of a cartridge with increased charge density (> 1.2 g / cm3), the invention proposes that the propellant charge module (6) has at least three axial ignition channels (9) distributed uniformly on one pitch circle and at least three radial ignition passages running in the interior of the propellant charge module (6) up to its outer surface (11) (10), wherein the center of the circle on which the axial ignition channels (9) are located on the center axis (100) of the propellant charge module (6), and that each of the radial ignition channels (10) at least one of the axial ignition channels (9 ) cuts.
