The white tip of a strike anywhere will generate enough fire to ignite a charge of powder but it doesn't come close to the brisance level required to push a gluelit down a barrel, nevermind shoot it 50 or 60 ft.
DK17HMR & I worked together on developing this procedure back in the late summer of '06 and I still load and shoot gluelits in my basement. The interest in this seemed to drop off so that's why I haven't posted on it lately.
