Andrew, it can be frustrating sometimes with black powder loads, but is very rewarding when it comes together. Eric, makes a good point, my first black powder shots I usually miss in front. I am always surprised that my lead is close to smokeless. I'll even miss in front with a flintlock.
I think we could help you more if you described the components you are using and the order. I have found(with help of others on this forum) that the wad is what can make or break a pattern. I also would spend some time at the patterning board, with some different combinations.
Don't worry, you'll figure it out. In clays or hunting, there is nothing better than a black powder double!
