I need info on primers for my reloads of 45 LC for my Mountain Gun, are they large pistol primers or mag pistol primers?
What size of primer is needed for 45 LC?

Depends on what powder you are using.
Extruded or flake, medium speed, regular primers are fine.
Spherical or ball, slow burning, magnum primers are usually recommended.
They are all large pistol.

Use what your Reloading Manual data tells you to use.
You do have a reloading manual don't you?

Since your revolver is the light framed Mountain Gun, I really doubt, and advise against, using H110/W296. If you had a Ruger Redhawk in 45 LC then you could use loads that equal or exceed 44 Magnum pressures, and with H110/W296 you need to use a magnum primer. But it would be poor judgement to try to do that in your N frame.
I have loaded load Unique (flake) or AA#5 (ball) powder, to to 800-850 fps with lead bullets. I have used WLP, CCI#300, and Wolf standard primers with excellent accuracy. You don't need magnum primers for standard velocity ammunition in a 45LC.

Like said above, the .45 Colt usually takes a standard Large Pistol Primer or also like said above you could buy Winchester WLP and be done with it. I'm happy with the results I get when using Winchester WLP primers.

I shot a double 454 load with 45 Colt brass in a break action 410.
I used 40 gr H110, 405 gr Cast, and a large rifle primer.
