First thing I would do is make sure the barrel is seated tight and flush.

At 16 yards 1/16 of head movement moves the pattern 1 inch. At your 35 yards it is compounded. Move your POI tests closer and use tight chokes. Consistency makes a difference.

Different shells should make little difference.
