So! I bought the wrong box of primers.. Thought I grabbed cci #500 pistol (or whatever) but I grabbed cci MAGNUM pistol primers. Needless to say I have to use them. I've never used magnums. So here is what I have currently:

Hitek coated (lead) 125 grn 9mm
4.8-5.0 grn unique
OAL: 1.080

Using the magnum primers how much powder should I cut? Should I start at 3.8 grns? I'm shooting for cost efficiency cheaper the better not really reloading for pin point accuracy (if it matters)

Thanks in advance.
