The problem is not the primer when using 2400 for .38's, the problem is the powder is too slow for .38 Special pressure-level loads. 2400 is not a stubborn powder, and is easily lit with standard LP primers. In fact magnum primers are not recommended for full power .357 Magnum loads using 2400 powder.
