[QUOTE="338Rocket, post: 1304270, member: 96012"] Would you care to elaborate on that? I don't understand how it could work any other way. If you have a line of gun powder and you light it from one end the flame travels down the line until the powder is gone. If you light it from both ends, it burns in half the time. The flame from the primer, if able to extend over a line of powder, ignites the powder in multiple places burning the powder more quickly, causing excessive pressure. The "slower" the powder the more dangerous this becomes. [/QUOTE]
