That "front ignition" idea has been done. Rocky Gibbs, who developed the Gibbs wildcats, played with it, as have a few others. A significant increase in muzzle velocity is seen. I have no information on what it does to pressure, but I reckon it would affect it.
A tube threaded into the primer flashhole carries the flame to the front of the powder charge, or at least near the front. Difficult loading and questionable results.
