A cased telescoped ammunition round (10) includes a propellant charge (22) disposed in a tubular case (12) and having an axial bore (24)
containing a center sleeve (26) attached at its opposite ends to the opposite ends (14, 16) of the case. A projectile (28) is housed within a forward
portion of the center sleeve (26) and a primer (30) within an aft portion thereof. The primer is actuatable for igniting the propellant charge to cause
firing of the projectile. Features are provided to ensure dimensional recovery of the tubular case after firing of the projectile. One feature relats to the
center sleeve (26) being composed of a material which provides sufficient elasticity to stretch and contract uniformly from and to dimensions allowing
ejection of the tubular case from the gun chamber.
