I felt I should warn you...
This practice can be very dangerous! Greatly reduced loads of slow burning powders have caused rifles to literally explode and you are using about 1/2 of the amount of powder that the 7mm Rem. Mag. case will hold...I would consider this an extremely reduced load. You didn't say what powder you are using but still...I would highly recommend against this practice and would stick pretty close to the load recommendations in the reloading manuals.
PO Ackley has a good discussion on this type of "detonation" in his books. There has been some research into this but as of yet, they haven't been able to make it happen "on demand"...the detonation instead of the normal deflagration of the powder. Internal ballisticians are still "scratchin' their heads" and haven't proved exactly what is going on with this, but when it happens, it is always with "greatly reduced loads of slow burning powder"...and extremely violent!
Believe me this is not intended as a "slam" and please don't take it as such...I'd just hate to see anyone get hurt...or worse!
