That's very unusual on pistol cartridge.

Q1: Was it because that DWM did not know fast burning being important in the early stage of auto pistol cartridge design, or was it because they had other concerns or considerations?

Q2: Was slow burning powder unique on DWM 487C (?), or universal on their other pistol cartridges of that era?
