I would start off with a moderate load and do all the checks for pressure signs then proceed accordingly.

You can, but not needed for any powder but maybe W748 or another ball powder. My rifle prefers CCIBR2, much smaller groups than any other primer. Once you find a load your rifle likes, it's worth substituting primers to see if it makes a diff. For a mg primer, you'll want to drop the charge wt. 1/2gr-1gr depending on powder.

Well it can make a huge diff in accuracy & some in pressure, again, depending on brand of primer & type/charge of powder.http://www.6mmbr.com/PrimerPix.html
