I found two similar loads in both manuals using the same powder yet the Hornady manual states small pistol magnum and speer for the same load just uses standard primers. Again, in the Speer manual, some loads get the magnum primer and others don't meanwhile the Hornady book, all loads get the magnum primer...

I have a whole case of Winchester WSP primers, I'm just gonna use them... here's the load data I'm using today.

158 gr. LSWC HP

3.8 gr. TiteGroup

OAL 1.590"

I think in this case, I'm fine using standard primers.
