In general, loads close to 100% density (or even loads where seating the bullet in the case compresses the powder) ignite and burn more consistently than lower-density loads. In cartridges surviving from the black-powder era (examples being .45 Colt , .45-70 Government ), the case is much larger than is needed to hold the maximum charge of high ...
