The guys who write the manuals are highly trained and experienced professionals. I should think they know a thing or two about what they do.

Before any one flames me for this understand I know that standard primers will light off all powders. The reason for magnum primers is, I'm told, that some powders require the added fire for consistent ignition. Consistent ignition equates to more consistent pressures which lead to better accuracy.

My advice to all new reloaders is get several reloading books and FOLLOW them. I don't want to break any ones rice bowl here but following the loading data from someone with a screen name can be hazardous. Follow the books.

Rant over.

Please explain to me why the experts list a standard SPP for HS-6 in a .38 Special and a Magnum SPP for HS-6 in a .357 Magnum?

IMO and experience HS-6 in all applications is much more accurate and consistent when combined with a magnum primer, not a standard primer. No need to be an engineer to know when your ammo is more accurate.
