What type of ammunition typically involves the rearrangement of the charge after the projectile is in place?

Separate-loading ammunition is characterized by its assembly process, where the projectile and the propellant charge are loaded separately into the firing mechanism. This design allows for flexibility in the arrangement of the charge after the projectile is positioned, enabling the operator tomodify the firepower or range by selecting different charges.

In contrast, fixed artillery ammunition comes as a complete unit where the projectile and propellant are pre-assembled, thus not allowing for any rearrangement after loading. Semi-fixed ammunition, while also involving separate components, is designed for a different type of handling and operation compared to fully separate-loading types. Conventional ammunition may include various types but does not specifically focus on the rearrangement of charge after the projectile is in place as its defining characteristic.

The distinct feature of separate-loading ammunition is its capability to adjust the charge independently, which is essential for specific tactical applications in artillery operations.
