Thanks rhuff! I'll probably look at that TW25b grease also just to see how well the Erma likes it.
Now for an ammo update for the Erma La 22:
Now that I have the lubrication down for the Erma it was time to focus in on a particular ammo.
I purchased more subsonic, regular velocity, and some higher velocity (but not over 1200fps as has been recomended) to take to the range yesterday. For the subsonic I found Remington (38gr), the regular velocity Federal (36gr) and for the higher velocity I bought CCI AR Tactical (40 gr, 1200fps).
Funny enough the subsonic & the tactical worked well but the Erma (even well lubed up) didn't like the regular velocty (mostly stove pipe jams).
The subsonic worked well but would not always actuate the hold open with the last round but the Tactical ammo never had a problem!
From what I see it seems that 40gr ammo works best, the 38gr ok, and the 36gr barely at all.
Probably the best ammo when I can get it in bulk would be 40gr subsonic to preserve the life of the gun.
