The invention relates to a container for projectiles conveyed simultaneously with a container for modular charges using the same transfer system to load a weapon. The container comprises a rigid tubular body equipped with a pick-up interface for the transfer system and means to block the projectile in said container. The interface is constituted by a crown placed at the end of the body, protruding with respect to an external surface of the body. The blocking means are constituted by retractable catches placed on the inner wall of the body, for example a set of catches designed to come into contact with the projectile base and a set of catches designed to be applied to the projectile nose cone.
