Default Is this normal? WoW!!!!!

This is the first primer I took out of my Remington 54 cal. with the Cabalas 209 conversion kit. The primer is a CCI 209, charge was 100 gr. trip 7with a MMP red sabot holding a 45 cal .451 230gr. HP XTP.
I went looking for the sabot but found nothing till after I had shot about3 times (each primer looked the same).
I did find a sabot latter awful mess with just a couple pedals hooked together but no base.
Impact at the target was 4inches higher than with #11 caps I had the rifle sighted in with.
I reduced to 80 grains and changed sabots to T/C orange holding the same bullets, shot 3 more times with primers looking the same. POI was back near the bull too.






Should I reduce the charge even more?
First time I've ever used a 209 primer.
