I reallized that after loading around 200 rounds of 38 special using 3.5 grs. of Unique and 158gr. SWC that I have used Remington 5 1/2 primers. I know that I have a light load, they are for my wife to target practice with (new shooter and didn't want to scare her off).

Will I be okay with the the magnum primers or do I need to pull them?:???:

That is a light load and the mag primers can't boost it enough to worry about, shoot 'em up!

No problem, you probably wouldn't be able to tell a difference anyway.

As long as it is safe to do so--I prefer pulling bullets through the revolver's muzzle whenever possible. Your recipe is well within the safe zone, so enjoy. Who knows? Ya might have found The Load Of A Lifetime in that platform.
