How much powder are you using? You'll need less with the lighter ball. See where it hits at 100 yds. Play with your powder load to bring it down a bit. I have a T/C 50 kit Hawken that I got when I was 16 (back in the 70's) and I got good accuracy with 80gr FFG Black at 100 yds. I since put tang peep and globe sights on it and need to dial that in.
