I'm no expert, but could this be explained in gearhead terms as peak power -vs- a wide power band? The bullet has to accelerate out of the barrel. As along as there is increasing power (pressure) behind the bullet acceleration be will positive resulting in a faster exit velocity. The trick is getting a continues rising pressure (up to the max rating) and compete burn or near complete burn in an average length barrel for a mass produced round.
