Looks like you’re printing them a little too small

Yes, absolutely use legal paper for most covers.  Also, there are a ton of threads on printing but to sum it up, glossy legal paper is not very common.  You can get really good results with matte or semi-gloss photo paper.  The big thing is to go for a good quality paper stock.  If you are just testing, you can use some normal legal paper you can get anywhere.

I personally use and recommend this: https://www.redrivercatalog.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Session_ID=b5a0d89bb0d844f1626eb4565719242d&Screen=PROD&Store_Code=RRP&Product_Code=1514
