Not exactly answering your question, but for handguns, I use Magnum primers pretty much elusively.
They cost pretty much the same as standard, and I don't have to keep both around. I typically by primers in 5000 primer cases, and it is easier to do that if I am buying less kinds. For a handgun, unless it is for something special, it gets either large or small Federal magnum pistol primers. Federal primers are the best with lightened hammer springs.
For black powder, I am suspecting that standard versus magnum doesn't make a heck of a lot of difference.
For smokeless, I use a lot of Unique powder in reduced loads. My favorite "reduced load" is 4.5 grains of Unique in a 44 magnum with 240 Grain SWC. I use it both for steel plate shooting, and for practice. I haven't done as much practicing since my son was born (no time to do much but play with him), but I used to go to the local indoor range almost every Friday night and put 500 rounds thru my Ruger Redhawk. If I was shooting hot loads I would be flinching and be in pain, but with 4.5 grains it is cake.
Anyway, 4.5 grains of Unique sits pretty low in a 44 magnum case. With standard primers, it is a low enough powder charge that ignition gets a little erratic. With the magnum primers it shoots beautifully. I recall that with standard primers I wanted to be in the 5 to 5.5 grain range to stay out of the "not enough powder" region.
For really hot loads, especially in 357 Magnum or 357 Maximum, I often use H110. H110 is a funny powder. It burns slow, allowing lots of energy without a really high pressure peak. If you want to make an intentional hang-fire round, you can do it with H110. One of the three things you need to do is use standard primers. When done wrong, If it does not hang fire it will squib. Often the bullet will not exit the barrel. When you remove the case the powder will have a few burned granules in it, and the rest will be unburned. It actually can start to burn, but if it does not build up enough pressure it will got out. So, for hot loads with H110, you need Magnum Primers.
So, I prefer Magnum primers for light loads of Unique, and also for hot loads of H110.
So, I use magnum primers for black powder because I have them. If I had standard, I would use them as well.
