When the primer tube gets down to the last few primers they refuse to fall into the shuttle. Does anyone have cure for this?

Are you using the white primer follower rod?

'Zackly what I was gonna say

Clean the feed tube. And make sure your alignment is right. Mine will feed without a push rod, but I use one anyway.

Need to get push rod. Thanks.

You shouldn't get down to the last few primers, but re-fill the primer tube. My LNL was great at priming, but it wouldn't feed the last primer even with the push rod.

Mine does reliably, and then the rod locks the shuttle back giving you a positive visual indicator that you are out of primers.

One of my 550 B does that with winchester large rifle.I cured the pushrod lightness by installing a 458 socom brass case on it.

My experience as well. I like the priming system on the LNL...it's simple and reliable. OP, make sure you have the primer tube in the correct way. There is a shallow "neck" machined in the end of the tube that should be oriented towards the bottom so that it can sit in the socket and properly align the feed tube. When I first got mine, I had the tube in backwards and experienced problems similar to what you are describing. I flipped it so it's in the right way now, and have not had that problem since.
