Primer change - safety

Hello all,

Solely from a safety aspect:

If I had a set load of say 52 grs of a specific powder, specific case, set OAL, and this wasn't much short of the pressure signs, could I change the primer from CCI's standard to their magnum primer (keeping everything else exactly the same) and sleep easy or do I have to start all over again, and work up the charges?
 
Start over my friend. A magnum primer can make a lot of difference especially if you are using a relatively fast burning powder. All reloading manuals will tell you not to change components. Good Luck. LBA
