Which is the best of FMJ that came with it; the Prickskyette, the Hansen, or the PMC? All opinions are welcomed.

The Prickskyette is the original surplus ammo and one would think that is what the rifle would preform best with. Then again that may have been back in the 1940's or so too. P-ammo is for the most part non-reloadable the others are. Hansen I believe is out of business as well as PMC, but components are easily available. If it were me, I would take 5 of each, shoot and see. OK before I get jumped, the Prickskyette ammo today is not the original round nosed ammo of the early 1900's.
