wrenchman,

Triple 7 is cleaner burning than pyrodex, and water soluable. As far as loads go, I've seen little difference between loose 777 and the pellets (if the manual suggests pellets, that's where I'd start). You can get 30 or 50 grain pellets, so you can incrementally see which combinations work the best in your rifle (80, 90, or 100 grains). We've had extremely good luck with two 50 grain pellets and the 240 gr hornandy XTP sabots. Good luck, and let us know how it shoots!
