Bench Pressing

Okay, I've got two questions here-

1) When I do bench presses, I cannot let the weights go down too far as I it does not feel natural. My grip is just outside my shoulders and even without any weights, it feels like my shoulders and chest are too 'tight' (when I let the bar go down close to my chest). I typically let it go only a little lower than halfway down as that's most comfortable for me. How bad is this in terms of getting a good workout?

2) What is the maximum weight capacity of a 15lb bar? (I am currenlty pushing 220lbs on it).

Thanks for any and all input!!
