Default RE: Why blackpowder doesn't shoot as fast as a rifle?

Safely from the accounts I've seen, though I wouldn't try it. They are proofed to 129,000psi. book loads are around 35,000psi. Double powder and double bullet might result in a bulged barrel, thats why it is critical to use witness marks on the ramrod with ANY muzzle loader.
