A cartridge magazine system comprises a case. The case has a hollow generally rectilinear configuration with two side faces and a front face and a flat rear face with the case having a base end with a base plate and an open upper end thereby forming an interior recess. A spring has an upper end and a lower end positioned on the base plate. A follower is positioned within the recess upon the spring with a central section having a front and a rear. Lastly, a dimple in a generally hemispherical configuration extends upwardly from the central section and is located to thereby fit into the annular recess of a bullet there above.
