And that's code for?I believe the theory in action here was, The primer would flash across a sub load of smokeless powder laying in a cartridge case. The primer detonation would unseat the bullet pushing it forward to where it would lodge in the rifling, stopping momentarily, causing a dangerous spike in chamber pressure as the powder finally fully ignites.
I have personally had this happen, but though the bullet was stuck in the rifling, the powder did not continue too burn and I ended up with a "Squib."
