Is it a brass frame revolver? If so, that's most likely the reason for the 15 grain maximum.....brass frame (as opposed to steel frame) revolvers tend to 'shoot loose' with heavier loads.
As far as the revolver itself goes: I don't have that particular model, but I do have a Cabela's 1858 Remington by Peitta, and I have been quite happy with it.

Basically this is the "get me into C&B pistols" starter pistol. I plan to shoot it and hunt with it for a few years and see if I want to upgrade at that point or not.

edited to add : Any idea what size 44s it uses? .451, .454, or .457? I downloaded a copy of the manual and it doesn't indicate

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
