So, everyone "knows" that monocore cans have more FRP than M/K-baffle cans, right?

I ask this, knowing that someone here undoubtedly does... but do we know why that is? Is it related to the volume of the chambers in each design?
 
If I had to guess its the irregular pockets of trapped oxygen getting burned off on 1st round ignition.

10~15 cc or wire pull gel takes care of that pesky pop.
 
All design dependent, there are conical designs that are just as bad. Which monocore, what caliber?
 
Sparrow has earned its reputation with some for high FRP values.

Osprey has higher internal volume and that equates to higher potential for FRP.

The "irregularity" of the designs doesn't matter, its all about 02 entrapment.

Do not go by the 10-15cc wire gel value found above, it is way way too high for some cans, check with the manufacturer. Example, Osprey? 5cc.
