So with cdoc's advice, I'll try and locate that book he suggested.

I'd be willing to bet that the first couple chapters in your friends book included the basics on reloading. There are pamphlets out there that only include load data, but any "book" I've ever seen also covers the basics. 90% of the book might be load data, but usually the beginning of the book has the requisite reading material.
I know the Lyman manual has a chart of powders listed from fastest to slowest, but honestly you could spend years reloading and never even look at it. Follow the load recipes and you'll be fine. There a numerous variables that go into determining why different powders use different amounts. But again it's not really something to worry about other than knowing that any load should be based upon published data.
