Can we use magnum small pistol primers in 9mm/40sw/45acp with HS6 or Unique or Titegroup? I have all 3 powders.
 
I do it all the time and have for many many years. I interchange small pistol and small pistol magnum primers and don’t change any part my loads data. No difference at all in velocity or performance.
 
Primers can make a difference in velocity and pressure, so always start a bit lower and work up when changing them.

That said, without a chrono it's unlikely you'll notice the difference, and they'll likely all go in the same group up close.

Here is a test in 9MM with different primers.
