Default 385 gr. grat plains bullets ?

I have a knight wolverine 50 cal. This past weekend I tried shooting the 385 gr. great plains bullets. I started with 85 gr. of pyrodex rs, and found that my shots were not consistant. My dad was along, and thought I was pulling off anticipating the recoil, there was and older guy with a flintlock next to me at the range. He said he had been watching me, and said he hadn't seen me flinch at all, then he suggested I try bumping my powder to 95 grains. I did, and my shots stablized. I was shooting 1/4 inch groups at 50 yards. That may not sound great, but from what I was getting, it is phenominal. Does anyone have any suggestion on improving on what I have now? I have only been shooting M/L for about 2 months, so I am a newby.
