Default Loads for Bighorn

I recently acquired a Knight Bighorn with a 22 inch barrel. Yesterday I got to fire it for the first time and I was not getting much of a pattern. I was using #11 caps for ignition and 80 grains of triple seven ffg. The two projectiles I was using were 260 grain Knight jacketed bullets and a few 300 grain Noslers. I have noticed that Cayuga mentions using Goex and Pyrodex for powders in his Wolverine which is a very similar gun. Do you think switching to one of these powders should be my next step or would you suggest changing the volume of the Triple Seven (I'm thinking of going down to 70 grains). Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Art
