If you're like me, you want it in simple terms, so here goes.... Think of a rifle. There is a certain amount of energy in the powder charge. If you load the shell, but put the slug at the very end of the barrel, it will basically fall out when you pull the trigger. If you slide it down halfway into the barrel, it may travel 25 yards. When you have it crimped into the shell, it exits the barrel with deadly force. The tighter you are to the gas expansion force, the more initial energy is exerted on the bullet or piston. This is simplified, and not exactly accurate, but it should clear it up for you......Stan
