jgh,
I have come to the conclusion that damping the flame causes a much slower form of ignition.
this in turn tends to make black powder ignite in a way that resembles the progressive burning of smokeless.
you will notice the improvement more as ranges increase, possibly due to improved velocity standard deviation.
ultimately who cares why? if it works, do it.
keep safe,
bruce.
