I've never been able to tell why that difference appears.
Hmmm, Powder company makes powder, Speer/CCI makes magnum primers...............

I don`t know the reason, but I trust the powder maker to know what their product needs to perform. Then again a mag primer in cold weather with ball powders is likely a good thing.
