It would help if you spoke English!!

Sorry Mate I couldn't resist. :D

1mm at the bridge will alter the action 1/2 mm at the 12th fret

Was the string grade the same?

If you drop the saddle you very well might get buzz. It should not feel harder to play at the cowboy frets. You decreased the amount of travel for the strings so it should be easier. Probaby not as noticable as if you dropped it at the nut. As AJ asked did you up the string dia?

Might think about putting the shim back in, and having your nut altered. Maybe a quarter-turn, counterclockwise, on the trussrod nut.
