I don't need quite the level of power, or cost, of BBs for my purpose. After going through Win's white box 240-gr JSPs (1180 fps on box but I haven't chrono'd them) I can only say they will be enough for my purposes short of being in grizzly country. And even then they may suffice.
With the Pachmayr grips and a leather shooting glove, recoil is stout but ok--you're not expecting a maiden's caress after all. Nor, if you still have your wits about you do you need to touch off fifty rounds a session. This is a "carry gun" that you familiarize yourself with and then shoot regularly but only briefly.
Ultramax's 240-gr lead loads at 800-900 fps are pure pleasure.
Like most stuff that runs out of the norm, there is no lack of hyperbole on the 'net by computer commando's whose only exposure to the 329 is probably some other CC's post about its ferocity.
