Some of your answers:

Use oil not grease.
Use std ammo, about 1100 to 1130 fps, No Nato ammo, it is too hot, no +P ammo.

The action is strong enough for the rounds it was designed for; but the action is "delicate" in the sense that it is balanced for the ammo weight and velocity vs. the mainspring and weight of the recoiling parts. One must stay within design parameters.

Everyone is dancing a little about the price you paid, IMO it was significantly high, due to the butchering of the frame where the lug was removed. But it does sound like you got a great shooter, and if that is what you want- don't worry, be happy.
