Just curious.... what was Parker's reasoning in warning people to not use nitro in brass shells?

With no crimp against the chamber area to seal the gasses, wouldn't it be blowback into the breech due to higher pressure or even splitting brass allowing gas to escape? Just a guess.

Thin walled brass cases could allow a larger diameter payload? Just a guess here... Will a wad cut for a brass case still fit in a paper case?
