Jack brought to mind something I had to do for light drops for my 28ga. The opening for powder in the bar wasn't going completely under the powder bottle. Because of the way you adjust the opening, it doesn't center under the bottle opening. I took the bar out and filed the slot longer in the frame so the stop screw could go farther over allowing the small opening to center under the bottle opening. I also tap the powder bottle when the bar is under it. Kirk was trying for 15grs, and that's getting pretty light - in other words, a small opening for powder to drop into. Try taking your bottles off and pull the handle down and check to see if the opening in the bar is centered under the bottle opening. You may have to operate on your press. Keep plenty of powder in the bottle, and throw away the baffle. If you're gonna keep it, grind out the center and use it for a drop tube.
