I first read about this in American Handgunner about 40 years ago in Col. Jeff Cooper's article, "Blowing Up With 2.7." Shooters were having .38s blow up with small charges of Bullseye, and at the time the thought was that they were double charging. The Colonel recognized the danger of detonation, and that article has been my guide in choosing powders to load ever since. Use a bulky powder and the possibility of a double charge goes away, too.
