Magnum primer's in a LR case

Mike, you got away from what I said in my posting.
Here it is.
How do you account for the fact that when you look up loads on the Hodgdon site on the computer, there is no mention of whether to use a standard, or a magnum primer?
Did I not plainly state, "--loadings on the computer?"
The modern loading manuals are all written, to the very best they can, to protect themselves from law suits.
Look at any of the loading charts from say, the 1960s. See if you can see any mention of primer used, or what brand or type of bullet used, just the weight of the bullet, or any mention of what brand of case!
And we all ended up with the usual number of digits intact, proper eyesight, etc.

Thank you. I was hoping that someone with access to a pressure setup would speak up. If a new handloader starts reading that primers don't matter for pressure, it could have disastrous results; especially seeing as a lot of them don't seem to want to pick up and read a good reloading manual before starting.
With regards, Mike

Should have checked back to see all the advice about starting from scratch . Just tried 57grn RL22 fed mag primer & 140 gameking OAL 3.28 . Primer flattend & the bolt was a little sticky . Gonna start at minimum from now on & work my way up .
