Re: large rifle primers
LR primers may not have enough oomf to light off the powder effectively. You can get a delay fire, where there is a noticable delay between when you pull the trigger and the round ignites. There can also be large diffrences in velocity and accuracy. Especially in .338 LM.

How many do you need
I might be able to spare a few hundred, if you are in the So Cal area ( victorville, ontario)

Right on. I have used regular LR primers in 300 win mag, but I don't recommend for the 338 LM.

Not necessarily. He isn't asking <span style="font-style: italic">for</span> primers, he is asking <span style="font-style: italic">about</span> them. He registered a month after you did. Maybe he has just been doing a bunch of reading instead of posting.
To the OP; a location may help point you in the right direction.

Re: large rifle primers
i ran into this a few weeks ago and loaded 7mm rem mag with standard lrp. it was like a hang fire on a muzzleloader it took just a spit second for the round to go off after the primer. needless to say i had to pull some bullets

They're called 'magnum' primers for a reason.
I load the 338LM and I wouldn't think of using standard LR primers. You're spending too much money on everything to short change yourself.
Keep looking and shoot something else, until you find the right primers.
