A quick propellant will burn more rapidly and produce a higher pressure in a given gun than a slow one.
This is true, but you have to blend in the other part of the math which is, the faster the powder, the shorter the duration of the peak pressure spike.

The velocity of a bullet is directly proportional to the pressure produced, AND how long that pressure is applied.
