Some of the standard was 40 gr., some 36 gr. Tried Winchester, Remington, Ely, Federal, Blazer...basically picked up a 50 box of anything I could find locally, and some online for better prices.
Nah, after squirting silicone lube all directions thru the follower button slot, I just shook the mag like a fever thermometer to remove the excess. I guess I made the process sound juicier than it actually was.

Right now I'm jazzed up because I won an auction this weekend of a post war Erma .22 conversion kit for real Lugers! I may have done pretty well for hammer price. I may be forced to set all else aside for a while after the kit arrives, to play around with it.
