I use regular small pistol primers with IMR4227 but magnum small pistol primers would work too. Your reloading manual should indicate one or the other for the data they are providing. I usually start out trying to use whichever primer size is indicated when doing a max load work-up. Either way I'd start lower than 10% off max to work my way up. Maybe I'm overly cautious but I usually start closer to the minimum or at the mid-point between min and max and go up from there. Just my two cent worth.
