Thumbs up Thanks Jack

"Often, Speer recommends a magnum primer for a load using ball powder, when the maker of the powder (Hodgdon, for example) recommends a standard primer.
I've never been able to tell why that difference appears.
But, it's an example of why it's a good idea to check more than one manual"

With that being said, would one automatically default to the powder recommendation data or the concensus among other reloading data? (Perhaps I am getting ahead of myself here and this information is listed in my books)

Since I do have a healthy respect for all things firearms and ammunitions and the remanufacturing thereof-especially being a novice, I will be doing my homework. I already picked up a nice fireproof locker for $10.00 at a garage sale over the summer to store my powder.
