Can someone shed a little more light on my knowledge of the percentage of powder burnt before the bullet leaves the barrel? I realize (or at least I think I do) that 100% is ideal, and should be the goal. But, as the percentage decreases, at what point does it start to become detrimental? To me, if you have unburnt particles of powder exiting the barrel at a faster velocity than the bullet itself, it would have to have some impact (pun intended) on the bullet's stability and/or flight path. Or am I overthinking this?
