Are you shooting 3” shella in 2 1/2” chambers possibly?

That would be my guess.
Either that, or the shot is bursting into flames on ignition ;-)

Either bad plastic formula or rough chamber. could be a combination of both. I had Federal 28ga that would do that from time to time.

I'm sure that was tongue in cheek, but not far from the truth. Take a handful apart, using a razor blade, just behind the crimp. Pour into a saucer, and see if there is also powder. How tight is the wad? Probably not. Powder migration, leaking beyond the wad, is likely being ignited by the charge, also coming right up the side of the hull.
Say what you like, It's my observation that there is a serious lack of QC in many of the cheap, foreign imports.
