The question of why not smokeless powders in brass cases came up on a different forum once. I don't remember exactly why, but if you'll notice all modern shells have a base wad so none of the powder lies below the top of the primer. If I remember it's so the powder starts burning in the back and works it's way forward. With BP it doesn't matter. Sorry I couldn't help more.
