Mine likes 80 grains and the recoil isn't bad, but hot loads in a light gun isn't preferred by me. : )
Ramrod: Yes, it's cheap, but I still use it thanks to how the gun is poorly designed for ramrod length. Not only do I have to extend the ramrod length by unscrewing the extender to gain 2", I also have to screw on a swiveled extender that adds another 3" to better swab the barrel.
