This may be common but I was not aware of it. Thanks.
You never know what you are going to come up with in doing these tests. That's why it's usually worth the effort to do so. A year or so ago, when shooting groups (and chronographing) using three primers, CCI-400, CCI-450, and Remington 7 1/2s, in two Colt ARs, I found the CCI-400 provided generally better accuracy than the other two primers, though the differences were small. I realize the CCI-400 is not recommended for AR loads.Sometimes, velocities of standard and magnum primers are virtually identical. Switch powders and the velocity difference may be significant.
