Splitting a hair here, please indulge me....
I'm not against the use of a flask; I have and use them myself. However, I do not use the flask to charge the gun directly. I charge my guns directly from a powder measure.
Now, there's no difference in the likelihood of a flash ignition while charging a gun with a powder measure or with a flask, but the consequences are much different. Igniting the charge coming out of a powder measure will hurt you, maybe even burn you, but the measure will be empty or very nearly empty. Igniting the charge coming out of a flask has a much different ending because it WILL have LOTS of powder left in it. Even if it doesn't detonate, the very large flash and boom are serious events to be involved in.
No, flasks are fine as interim chargers, but should not be used as final chargers, simply because of the large amount of powder they typically contain.
