[QUOTE="zr600, post: 2708553, member: 104269"] I used to think same way that a powder in a shorter barrel wouldn’t burn all of it. I now after more experience and reading believe that all the powder is burned regardless of the barrel lengths. The powder is ignited by the primer then builds pressure in the caber/brass, powder needs pressure to completely burn I beleive. So my belief that the reason for more velocity with a longer barrel comes from the bullet being pushed by the pressure longer in the longer barrel. Now reason being for my more belief in the powder needs pressure to completely burn it is I seen a post about a loaded round that went off in someone’s center console in there pickup. The bullet was gone, the case was ruptured, primer had no indent on it, and there were kernels of powder laying in the bottom of the console. Without the round being chambered when it fired it didn’t build enough pressure like it would in a chamber to burn all the powder. I don’t know if I’m right or wrong but it makes some sense to me. I really don’t know what made that round fire in his center console, maybe heat? [/QUOTE]
