If you had chrono'd the rounds you may have noticed a larger variation in velocity too but for all practical purposes it doesn't really hurt anything, it just isn't as efficient. To me a magnum primer is only for igniting powder that a standard primer may have difficulty igniting completely, ie ball powder or cold temperatures. I could be wrong, often am but that is what comes off the top of my old dinosaur head.
