Powder Ignition Failure

[CINDERS]

There is no way known that you should be achieving 100% burn my quickload program states that in rather red letters under the chart with pressures p-max ect, with my reloads I try to get 98%+ burn in the barrel but never 100% as the last thing you really want is the burn to be completed before the projectile exits the barrel relying on the residual gas to push it out.

I'm using QL version 3.2. Can you post a screenshot of that red-letter warning?

Many great loads, including most .22 Long Rifle factory rounds, burn all their powder before the bullet exits a reasonably long barrel. Seems to me that's often a good thing. Why waste powder by leaving some unburnt?
