Go by what your reloading manual says.

You can use magnum primers but may need to reduce the load a bit. I doubt you will get any improved performance with magnum primers.

In 5.56 rounds, I only use mag primers. I don't know anyone who doesn't.

FredT nailed it. Use the primer your manual specifies and you won't go wrong.
