Default RE: 209 primer selection for inlines?

Questions?

Did Precision ever determine how a bullet can move before the powder ignites? If the bullet moves, the powder behind it must move & I don' t understand how that' s possible with " loose" 777' s instantaneous ignition and a firm loading of the projectile. The only way this may happen is with the use of powder pellets which slide down easily -- Powerbelt bullets which go down the tube easy & very little arm pressure afterwards with the ramrod.

If what you' re saying is correct, then how do makers of Federal primers stay in business because their primers are the strongest. Put a live Federal primer on your unloaded rifle -- insert the ramrod -- fire the rifle after making sure no one is in front of the rifle bore -- in most cases, it will discharge. None of the rest do that!
