I think you will be ok.

A few things,

Stainless steel does not mean rust proof, it still needs to be cleaned.

Blackpowder substitutes do not mean it does not need to be cleaned well afterwards.

Seen a few of them shoot good.  Fiber optic sights like that can be a challenge to shoot.  Sometimes the extra brightness makes it blurry to some.  Also, there is a zone between the fiber optic part and the metal housing where the fiber sits in.  Different targets will seems to give different results.  Once you get it roughed in ok, try shooting at cardboard deer targets to see where the sights sit on the target.  

MY T/C Omega shoots great with 80 grains of FFFg goex real blackpowder, a harvester sabot, and .429" 240gr hornady XTP hollowpoints.  I prefer loose powder over pellets.  However, you don't really need over 100 grains in these things.  They shoot pretty good w/o them.  They pretty much shoot like a 30-30 does.  30/30 is plenty good for most of NY.
