Theories on why light loads in big cases go boom vary, but the end result is alot like a double charge.

This does NOT happen with straight walled pistol cases. That's an old myth that never wants to die.
Small charges of fast burning powder in pistol cases do NOT pose a threat. However, improper operation (generally with a progressive press by someone who is less than attentive) so as to cause a double charge (sometimes coupled with deep seating) CAN and DOES cause a Ka-Boom!
On the other hand, a light charge of slow burning powder in a large capacity rifle case CAN and WILL cause problems. Using the proper charge of the CORRECT powder will keep you out of danger.
