With light loads you can get "flash" fire which raises pressures alarmingly.
Look at "Cowboy Action Loads" as a minimum.

Who is a retired professional paranoid, don't try this at home folks, the experts have equipment bought by the boss and can blow it up for science.
'Flash' or 'detonation' of light loads has never been duplicated much less proven. A better explanation for the reports from the field of such would be mistakes in the amount of powder in the charge.
