ROVER
The flash hole will prevent the powder from entering into the flash channel. This allows the flash channel to act as a 'expansion chamber'. This reduces the pressure on the primer. It is not desirable to have the powder leak into the flash channel
If the powder is in direct contact with the primer, the pressure on the primer is excessive. This pressure pushes soot right through the primer, in muzzle loaders.
If you are experiencing powder ignition problems, be sure you are using primers hot enough to ignite the powder you are using.
