I will be using my smokeless powder muzzleloading 50 Beowulf project as an example for this question. In that project, the bullet was loaded just in front of the case mouth by an 1/8" or so. I had no way of measuring pressure of that load but let's pretend that it was 25,000 PSI. If I had only pushed the bullet half way down the barrel so it was 8" from the case mouth would you expect pressure to go up, down or stay the same? What if I only pushed the bullet an inch or two down the muzzle?
Edit: Under the same conditions as above what would you expect velocities to do?
