I use a bunch of black powder 1 oz. with 3 drams of 1.5 Old Eysenford in my 12's and break as many clays as I do with smokeless powder. You may be suffering from a Gremlin in the brain and over leading the targets. Velocities are not that much different between the powders. I use it in 10, 12 and 16 gauge and they are very good performers. Patterns would generally be tighter with the plastic wads. Use the same leads with black and you should be fine. When I shoot I do find that it may take a few targets to get my brain in the groove and do miss a few targets on station 1 at skeet and on some long crossers on the clays course Keep at it and things will come together.
