I kind of have the same question:

I found some .44mag cases that I, at some point in the past, got ready to load, but didn't get around to it. I loaded them and shot them today with a .44 Special load. I liked the performance, but can't remember if I had used Large Pistol primers or Magnum primers.

Would there be much of a performance difference if the only variable that was changed was the primer? If I loaded 50 rounds with Mag primers and 50 rounds with LP primers but left everything else the same, would I notice anything?
