If one reads in Sturgess, they find that the period German .22 lr ammo was marginal in the pistol sub caliber kit- explanation is the ammo was designed for the rifle and didn't build sufficient pressure for the pistol to have a 'normal' barrel length.
hence the extended about 8" barrel which then supposedly worked with the ammo in the German army system.
That is why I started with standard velocity .22 LR, then Eley rifle target; neither of which worked. The Peters high speed did.
One can see from reading the post above that standard and high speed actually can overlap a little, so even the brand and maybe the lot will make a difference.
Your results will likely vary, but it is not at all unusual to have to select .22 LR ammo that functions well or better in any particular pistol- not just model- but individual pistols can vary significantly.
The same is true for other caliber pistols.
