The present invention relates to a method and a device for producing perforated propellant in the geometric form of block, stick, slab, cylindrical or tubular propellant (2) with high charge density and high progressivity. The propellant as claimed in the present invention is characterised by a large number of perforations, densely and evenly distributed over the entire propellant segments, made by perforation members (6) that are pressed down into the propellant. The perforations are thereby made in a plurality of steps with a predetermined step feed between each perforation operation. The device as claimed in the present invention also comprises a mobile pin die (5) away from but facing the feed path (1) for the propellant (2), and containing at least on one row of pins for perforation of the propellant whereby each such row of pins comprises the number of pins (6) required to cover the complete width of the propellant segment across its direction of advance. Between each perforation operation the propellant is step fed by a step feed device (15) a distance equivalent to the distance between two desired perforations multiplied by the number of rows of pins arranged across the direction of advance of the propellant. Additionally, in the propellant as claimed in the present invention the distance between two burning surfaces of the propellant shall be equal to double the desired burning length (2b).
