Wow - good shooting Cayugad. Buying the pistol bullets in bulk appears to be a considerable savings - almost half price. If you have some 30 grain pellets, try two fifties and a thirty. Pretty good balance of horsepower, recoil, and accuracy in my guns.
I hate to admit this, but my Knight Disc shoots better with pellets then with loose powder. I tried a bunch of loose powder in different amounts. The best loose powder for that rifle is Goex 3f. If you load Pyrodex Pellets it really shoots some impressive groups. The rifle likes Pyrodex and Goex.

Triple Se7en powder and that rifle do not agree. I once told someone I shot T-7 and the 200 grain powderbelts out of that rifle with great results. I tried that yesterday and was shocked. They were all over the place. So I went back and checked my notes and low and behold, Goex 3f is the powder that produced the best accuracy. Its just hard to beat Goex.
