Default First day with my ML & dropping early?

Hey folks - my first day shooting a muzzleloader and I found out a couple of things - my palm hurts and the loading rod on my new T/C Impact 'bites' into the heads of the barnes t-ez I was shooting.

Anyways - shooting 85grains bh209 and barnes 290 t-ez and t/c sure shot 230. The 230gr sure shots were hitting 3" higher at 70 yards than the 295 grain barnes. Understanding these are totally different bullets, but weight is weight, it looks like my bullets are past the 'top of the arc' of their travel - is that ok for 70yrds or should I up my charge? I'm trying to get a 70-125 yard range for deer, thanks!
