The theory is that powder level in the case is so low that when the
primer discharges, it blows over the powder charge and not through it,
leading to a radical pressure spike.
Therefore, I'd caution you to not load your .357 case at less
than 80% full, as you might do using .38 load data in a .357 case.

The light load detonation myth seems to still be alive. It has never been proven in a lab. Virtually all of those so called detonations could be traced back to dbl charges of uber fast powders like BE & TG.
80% full, seriously? Most of us load our magnum cases far lower volume than that for 1000s of rds & we are still here. Consider 6gr of something bulky like Unique doesn't even fill a 357smag case 50%, shoots jut fine.
