What's the consensus of the percentage of powder burn in a rifle barrel? Does this affect your powder choice? 100% of the powder is burnt as soon as the bullet leaves the muzzle? Or should it be less than 100% as a bullet leaves the muzzle?
I come across a site where people have said that 94% of the powder burnt is a sweet spot.
I never really thought of it until I came across a ballistic simulator.

The percentage of powder burn in a rifle barrel is an important factor in internal ballistics, and achieving the "ideal" powder burn is critical for optimizing velocity, accuracy, and barrel efficiency.
