This is straight from Hogdgon's website:
"Percussion Firearms: Select the proper charge from the loads listed in this brochure. Set powder measure as indicated. While holding the firearm vertically, slowly pour the measured charge of Triple Seven or Pyrodex into the barrel. Seat the projectile firmly against the powder ."
Firmly suggests to me that it should be used in a similar manner as any other sub or BP. Mild compression is stated for use in cartridges.
I have emailed Hogdgon's for more detailed information since I have found such conflicting information on its use on the forums, but have never received a response.
