			I have measured peak pressure on a few different loads, with both standard and magnum primers.  I have yet to find a load where a magnum primer increased peak pressure.  I'm not saying it isn't out there.  I just haven't found it yet. 
 
The original claim of magnum primers was more uniform ignition of slow burning powder, in very cold weather.  And I don't know if that claim is true or not, either.
