A multi-piece ammunition cartridge casing includes a casing base extending along a central axis and defining an opening extending axially into the casing base from the distal base end. The inner casing surface defines a circumferential groove with a groove radius greater than a radius of an adjacent portion of the opening.

The casing body is secured to the casing base by way of a flange protruding radially outward in mating contact with the circumferential groove.
