Mine shoots best with 90 grains of Pyrodex RS or black powder, but Triple Seven should work well. Swab between shots and clean it good at the end of the day and that rifle will serve you well for many years.
X2 on what Dave said. I also have the Staghorn and Staghorn Mag and what Dave recommended is what worked for me too.
The only difference is I used a 240gr XTP Mag.
