Brenda, the Cowboy Loads are usually Lead Flat Nosed loads that are loaded to very modest velocities. They were intended for use in cowboy matches and won't usually have the recoil that full power loads do. Check the ammunition companies out online and you can find them, or in a well stocked gun store.
For cleaning I'm a dinosaur and still use Hoppes #9 solvent. It works good, plus the smell alone is worth it. Ask anybody who was raised around guns, especially if they're middle aged or older, and they will tell you that smell brings back memories. For me it reminds me of my Dad and Grandpa. There are lots of cleaners on the market, but this is my favorite.
Stick around and you'll learn a bunch of stuff. We're glad you're here.
