Randy it's kinda hard to tell from the photo angle but you might benefit from raising the load height just a bit, "tightening" the crimp. Try a few with a 16 ga. 1/8" cork in the bottom of the shot cup or a 1/16" 10 ga. card over the shot. I've tortured myself for many years with different loads looking for that consistently perfect crimp! Different things work with different loads without constantly adjusting dies. I keep careful notes and when changing loads in the same gauge I don't mess with the setup, the simple addition of a card or cork can make a world of difference and they're CHEAP! A slightly different wad sometimes is the answer. You can make yourself crazy adjusting dies for each load, bismuth vs. lead, etc.
