A characteristic of black powder is that it burns very rapidly, and creates an immediate pressure spike. That means the pressure is mostly generated, and contained, in the thick part of the barrel around the chamber. But progressive burning smokeless powder keeps the pressure on longer.

I was going to say that I have heard the exact opposite, but I did a bit of research first and found we would both be correct since it entirely depends on which smokeless powder is being compared.
I'm learning......
