A lot of load data, back when I was young handloading was easier, I start at mac sometimes go above. Seemed that no matter what bullet I chose or gun max was always most accurate. Now older, with shoulder issues etc I try to find lighter or mid range loads but accuracy is always an issue for me. I am hoping the FA' s reputation and construction lead to greater accuracy with lighter loads. Also handgun hunting at smaller deer here in TX and shorter distances, max loads aren't needed anymore. So after I get set up to handload again we shall see.

Try the GT Bullets. I find their HPs to expand well, hold together and transfer energy like no others. Ideal for the older and more moderately loaded rounds.

I like the GT's but you can also try Matt's 250gr. hollow point in the Special. It is laser accurate in my M97 with Power Pistol.

If you haven't already done so, take potatojudge up on his offer of Scotchbrite. I bought a used FA83 about 12 years ago. It was my retirement present to myself. You could tell it was used. Since I had some maroon Scotchbrite, I hesitantly started buffing. Turned out well on both the frame and barrel and the 3 cylinders. I can't tell you how hard to attack yours since I went VERY slowly. Somebody with more experience can probably do it quicker and better but I'm satisfied.
