i'm with Cayugad on this one. Both my CVAStag Horn and my CVA Mag Hunter shoot just as well with Pyrodex pellets as they do with loose Pyrodex RS. i use two 50 grain Pyrodex pellets interchangeably with 100 grains of Pyrodex RS in the Stag Horn: They shoot to the same point of impact.That cheap old gun will shoot one 1.5" group after the other with Pyrodex RS or Pyrodex pellets, so does the Mag Hunter.

A Pyrodex pellet is neutral burning. Neutral burning=the pellet burns from both the inside and the outside. The burning surface stays roughtly the same size until the pellet is totally consumed.

Have an Encore that shoots very well with loose 777: Never tried pellets in it.
