[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1271300, member: 30902"] To have relevance an opinion must be based on fact. No, the design isn't outdated, it's still working perfectly more than a hundred years since it was first envisioned and as far as "efficiency" goes, one of the reasons we use slow powders on large volume cases is so that it doesn't all burn in the case giving us much higher possible velocities with much lower pressure. As long as you are burning more than 99% of the powder before the bullet leaves the barrel how much more efficiency is needed and what is gained from it? Perhaps if we had only one powder to choose from instead of dozens I could buy that argument but that's not the world we live in fortunately. I found this post and it's well worth quoting. [/QUOTE]
