    I have been trying to find reliable .22lr rounds to run in my Sig Sauer Mosquito. Please let me know what rounds are working for you. We all know how hard it is to find .22lr, it is even tougher when you are reduced to two specific rounds. This is what I have found so far, any help would be appreciated.

    These run pretty well:
    36 GR Brass JHP Rem. Golden Bullet - 525 rounds/box
    36 GR CP Rem. Viper - 100 rounds

    These give me one FTF or FTE per mag:
    40 GR Blazzer 50 rounds
    36 GR JHP Federal - 550 rounds
    40 GR CCI Standard Velocity - 50 rounds

    These have FTF or FTE on just about every round:
    36 GR JHP Winchester super X - 100 rounds
    38 GR HP Rem. Subsonic - 50 rounds
    40 GR Federal Automatch target grade performance - 325 rounds

    Thanks in advance

    CCI Minimags run pretty well in mine. Keeping the gun wet helps a lot and it needs to have some rounds through it before it will run the lower powered stuff.

    The universal recomendation is for MiniMags. After a cpl hundred round's thru Biggfootettee's pink Mosquito I also tried the Winchester 555's and they worked also.

    I've shot a bunch of minimags, federal, remington golden bullets, and remington target out of mine and a buddies and they all shot great. I couldnt pick a specific brand out of them that was better then the other. I dont know if guys arent cleaning them well or arent keeping them lubed up enough but ive never had a problem with mine.

    Yours is the exception, most people have issues until they are well broken in reguardless. They aren't great guns IMO.

    A Mosquito is a niche gun , if you specifically want an understudy for a P series Sig. For a free standing all-around .22lr semi , there are better choices.

    Federal bulk 550 round boxes feed fine in mine. I might have one fft out of every 3 or 4 mags. I have the light recoil spring in the slide and keep it clean.

    Thanks to all. I have been watching for CCI Minimags for months, just have not been in the right place at the right time yet. I only have 200 rounds on the gun. I will feed it a few hundred more Golden Bullets, clean, lube and test the others one more time.
