"Detonation" can occur when a smokeless propellant is used in a manner not suitable for the application. Detonation with smokeless is hard to "pin down", but usually occurs when a small charge of slow burning propellant is used in a case that allows a lot of empty space where the propellant is housed, like a centerfire rifle case ............. not likely with a shotshell.
