Well, an update is in order...
Emailed Magtech, their response was:
“According to our ballistic manager, the customer can use our 2 ½ primer with no problem, as it has enough energy to initiate the propellant.”
Then I was poking through the little Hodgdon Reloading Manual (not the big one, the little booklet one you get with Lyman products, came with my Case trimmer) ... and it shows their H110 Loads for .44 Magnum using a Remington 2 1/2 (what the Magtech primer is modeled after, even uses the same description) primer to light them off.
I feel pretty positive that I'm fine with the Magtech LP primers, based on these... I still haven't gotten a chronograph, but I'm going to the range at about 3:00PM today, and will have six rounds in hand loaded with CCI Magnum primers to compare with my Magtech loads (24 Grains of H110 behind a Hornady 240Grain XTP bullet -- yeah, it's max--in most manuals, anyway--but no pressure signs in my Ruger) to see if I can see any difference...
