Yes you can. That is a very mild load. Much has been written up on this in Handloader and other gun magazines in the last few years.

As posted above, be careful in your loading practices, but switching from a standard to a magnum primer in a load that mild, will have more affect on accuracy, than on causing trouble with pressure. That is only because it is a mild load. I have read several studies that show a bigger difference between brand of primers, than between magnum and standard primers when it comes to pressures.

If you were working with top end, or near top end loads, I would be much more concerned than with your listed load.

The magnum primers might cause enough change to distort the 148 hollow base designs, and affect accuracy, but you will have to try it to find that out for sure.

Each individual handloader is responsible for following safe and proven practices in pursuing our hobby.
