Magazine apparatus for accommodating propellant charges including a flat coilable metal strip having a plurality of holes extending transversely therethrough for accommodating insertion of cartridges. Cartridge holding collars are formed at each of the holes by bulging or plastically deforming the strip in the region of these holes so as to form a clamping seat spaced from the plane of the strip for clampingly engaging cartridges held at the strip. Various preferred embodiments include various cross-sectional configurations of the holding collars. The method of making the magazine apparatus includes forming the collars by a multiple-step bulging process wherein the last bulging steps is formed by the cartridges as they are inserted into position on the strip.
Magazine apparatus comprising a planar strip of material, a plurality of holes extending transversely through said strip and spaced at intervals along the length of said strip, and a cartridge holding collar for each of said holes, said cartridge holding collar being a deformed portion of said planar strip and extending out of the plane of said strip, each of said collars being configured to securely engage a cartridge inserted through a respective hole in the manner of a clamping seat.
