A center fire cartridge is a cartridge in which the primer is located in the center of the cartridge case head. Unlike rim fire
cartridges, the primer is a separate and replaceable component. Center fire cartridges are generally larger and capable of higher
power loads. These cartridges are more powerful because they can hold higher pressures than similar rim fire cartridges thus they
are also more efficient for their size. Brass shell case with primer cap (center fire ignition) and propellant. Colored labeling
after charge green, yellow, blue and red. Within the cartridges the explosive components (propellant and primer charge) are
hermetically separated from the environment.
