44 Magnum. Whew! You sure believe in jumping in with both feet.
What powder are you going to use?
Magnum loads perform best with slow burning powder and large pistol magnum primers.
44 Special will be fine with regular large pistol primers.
Which primers? (Assuming I can buy some)

Whichever ones your load data recommends, quite simply.
If you're loading 44 Magnum, you'll need either standard or magnum large pistol primers, depending on the loads you're using.

Any primer is a good primer these days. Get what you can.

When I have a choice I use cci only buying federals for their softness to use in my Mannlicher 7.65 automatic pistol and it’s anemic hammer spring. Even though I’ve lightened springs in my vaqueros, ‘03s, krags, N frame smiths and colts I’ve never had issues with the harder cci primers.
Since availability is the main consideration now, I think I'd look for large pistol magnum primers, if I chose a slow burning powder (H110/W296, 4227) magnums are best. Magnum primers can be used with any powder (with proper load work ups) but standard primers normally aren't used for the H110/W296 type powders...

Gee, I can't figure out why there is a primer shortage. Must be because of "Climate Change"...
