Ammunition round comprising a primary cartridge (1) and a secondary cartridge (2) provided with mutually cooperable push fit connection means for connecting the two cartridges during loading. The cartridges (1, 2) incorporate sockets (10, 12) which contain and are connected by a connecting piece (14). Socket (12) includes a cavity (20) having sufficient longitudinal depth to allow some axial movement of the connecting piece (14) ensuring that strain on the connecting piece (14) during loading is minimized.
