The best answer is "yes"...and "no."

By which I mean that it doesn't much matter which primer you start with. If possible, follw the recommendation of the loading manual you're using. In other words, if the book says they used CCI 200 primers, then that's probably the one you should use, too.

But if all you have on hand are Federal 210s, that's fine.

Two things to avoid, though: if they used standard (non-magnum) style, then you should stay away from magnums, too.

And the biggie: AFTER you've worked up a load, do NOT change anything at all without backing down on the powder charge. That means, don't change primers or brass brand, or bullet unless you start over with a lower powder charge.
