Small powder charges lay loose in the case. When the primer fires it all 'explodes' rather than a controled burn. The 06 I saw cracked a bolt lug, jammed bolt and action and buldged the bbl like you'd expect from a plugged bbl. Gun had been used immeidatly prior to that last shot and bbl was ok. Nothing remained in bbl ... so detonation was the conclusion.
