357 SIG reloading

Probably 2-3 feet. Should I be standing a specific distance? If so, how far? I really didnt see much in the directions about that. Rifles needed to be about 10 feet because of muzzle blast, but it said that pistol could be closer.

Has anyone else used small pistol magnum primers instead of small pistol primers?

I can only see about 50 fps difference and no signs of overpressure.

Is there some other reason I shouldnt do this?

I tried the following with 7.2, 7.6 and 7.9 grains of Unique with a Hornady 124 gr XTP:

Winchester Small Pistol (WSP) (this is what the book calls for)

Winchester Small Pistol Magnum (WSPM)

CCI Small Pistol Magnum #550

Federal Small Pistol Magnum

Like I said I screwed up my data and going to have to run the test again, but no signs of over pressure and some of the rounds were breaking 1400fps.
