Damn if I have a scientific answer. Just follow that manual and don't try to second guess the information in there. If you are just starting to reload you are in for a tremendous amount of "why's". Like why is the same load more accurate with a different primer, why does this brass give better accuracy than that brass, why is this grain bullet from this company more accurate than the same grain bullet from that company. Scratch your head, follow the manuals, have fun.
