i sighted my thompson black diamond in last week using pyrodex powder and i was thinking about switching to the pellets, will this make my gun shoot any different?

It probably will. The pellets burn faster than a regular powder charge. By it burning faster, it will probably flatten your trajectory a little. I would shoot the pellets to see what it does.

Anytime you change anything about your load setup you need to try it out and resight your gun. it could change it somewhat or drastically.
