Winchester's LPP are rated for both standard and magnum use but nowhere in the industry is there a warning to reduce the powder charge when using a WLPP.

Wow! 4 years old or not, there is lots of great advice here!
I notice that Winchester Small Pistol primers come in two flavors...WSP and WSPM. Sooo...saying I use Unique, AA#5, Universal, or HS-6. for mid-range/FBI equivalent loads @~ 900-1000 fps, is it permissible to use Magnum primers with all of them, to reduce inventory/chance of a visit from Mr. Murphy?
Would backing the load off .2-.3 gr. for the magnum primers be advisable, or, because these are not full snort loads, just use the original load, and interchange magnum/standard primers, according to availability?
Thanx
