You cannot safely use any large rifle primer in .44 Mag unless you somehow alter the depth of the primer pocket -- and doing that could (?) compromise the cartridge itself, so you will need to find some large pistol primers.

However, there is good news -- Alliant 2400 has a long reputation of not often benefiting from Magnum primers, and seems to like a standard pistol primer better than a magnum one.

So if you have any standard large pistol primers, go with those.
