Cordite was chopped for smaller arms and even some shotgun and handgun loads. The smaller the pieces, the faster it burns and it burns very hot & is hard on chamber throats. ALL of the modern powders are much superior. Neat thing is it will burn wet, however to get it ignited, you need a hot spark, something wet primers don't do. in my opinion.
