That's the kind of drop that would be expected from an airgun.
The load data from Hodgdon says you are at max and then some, both powder and length.
So, it's not the load causing this much drop, unless it's the length.
Does the gun cycle, ok?
The only other causes, that come to mind, would be the sights, a really sloppy barrel-slide, or the shooter.
Before doing anything else, have someone else try it out.
It may not be your actual shooting, but some discrepancy between your eyes and the design of the sights.
