It was alluded to above ... but using magnum or standard primers has nothing at all to do with a 'magnum' cartridge. It all comes down to what 'powder' you are using. Some powders are primer insensitive ... like Unique and Universal. Others like 4227 or H-110 require a magnum primer. And some powders like 2400 you see a big velocity (pressure) swing when switching primer types... Anyway, in your case my preferred primer is standard with Unique/Universal.
