Default accuracy question

Went out shooting yesterday and noticed that where I lined up my sabot made a difference in accuracy. If I lined up the gap between petals with the front sight my groups were tighter and more centered. Is this just my gun or a characteristic of muzzleloaders? It is something else I will have to keep in mind when I load up for hunting.
I tried doing a trajectory chart for my 290gr Barnes TEZ bullets because I plan using them during hunting season. Setting the scope crosshairs on the bulls eye the shot at 25yds was 3" low. At 50yds it was 1' low and 100yds it was 1" high. I am still learning how to use trajectory programs so I need some feedback. Is this in the normal trajectory range for a 290gr bullet being pushed by 100gr of Blackhorn?
