Yes I did, thanks. It turned out to be two issues. One, I noticed that the charge bar was dragging when I moved it to the right to drop shot. It was hesitating just before the end of the stroke. This was resulting in the small pellet drop. The second issues was solved by Scott K. He suggested for me to lower my crimp starter to close the pre crimp much tighter than I had it set. When I checked the bar the paint or whatever the coating is that is on it, was already wearing on the top of the bar. I took some fine sandpaper to it and polished it. Problem solved. It now slides smooth and I am getting a full drop and the crimps look great.
