PCT No. PCT/EP86/00095 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 21, 1986 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 21, 1986 PCT Filed Mar. 25, 1986 PCT Pub. No. WO86/05581 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 25, 1986.A propellant charge for the reduction of base eddying or drag of a shell 12 with a centrally disposed ignition conduit and an ignition device for the charge disposed in the conduit. To improve the ignition readiness of the propellant charge, the inner surface of the propellant charge, which surrounds the ignition conduit, is formed so that it conically narrows in the aft direction. Additionally, the inner surface of the propellant charge may be provided with stepped sections. Finally, the ignition conduits disposed in the housing of the ignition device may be disposed at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the propellant charge so that they face the inner surface thereof.
