I think I would at least require a chronometer and start very low because the chance of overpressure is pretty great. I'd rather have a squib and have to get the bullet out of the barrel than blow up a firearm.

A small rifle primer will in no way create a pressure difference that would "blow up a firearm"
Go to this site, Scroll to the very bottom for load data for the 327 Federal Magnum Handgun loads.
Note the primer used.
When I first started loading this caliber I used the small rifle primer (In a J frame revolver) I then got more data which uses small pistol primers . It made NO difference. Do a search and you will find this topic discussed on many forums.
As I posted in the CCI primer chart (many times) there is very little difference in the SP and SR ignition. The Small Pistol Mag is way hotter.
And a "
chronometer " is a time keeping instrument
