Quitest 22 ammo for revolver?

[trlcavscout]

I have a 22lr revolver that i keep by the back door for anything trying to get the chickens, but i am trying to find some quiter ammo in case i have to pop a raccoon at 3am or something. I have a corn field behind my house but i do have neighbors so i dont want to wake everybody up. Is 22 short any better? With the availability of ammo its hard to just go buy a bunch to try or i would. Useing the revolver i dont have to worry about power. Anybody have a suggestion?

There is also 22BB and 22CB ammo. Not sure if available or if it has required power to send the message to a raccoon.

I have maybe 10-15 rounds if you'd like to try them out. While you're at it. Get this lead been sitting here 5 months waiting for you to pick up.

THE STRONG SILENT TYPE.
The Super Colibrí was made for hunting and target shooting. Ultra-quiet, it offers higher velocity and energy than the standard Colibrí for when that little extra punch is needed. It’s designed for bolt-action or revolver platforms.


SILENCE IS DEADLY.
Perfect for hunting and target shooting at close range, this specialized powderless round is ultra-quiet and eliminates the trouble and investment of using a suppressor. It’s great for young shooters thanks to its lack of recoil. Designed for bolt-action or revolver platforms.

+1 on the aguila, sounds like a small nail gun out of a rifle. Out of a pistol is a decent pop, but nobody's going to know what it is.

I will try that, i picked up the "quiet 22" to try. I have a box of Aguila super sniper sub sonic something or other but it is very loud compared to normal 22lr.

i will try and get to windsor this week, i forgot about the lead. Ive been down to one vehicle so its tough doing anything on my days off.

I prefer the sub's myself. If i were the OP, i'd consider a bolt action 22 and subs, or the primer only colibri. One still has a report when using a revolver. There's no escaping that fact. Sounds like a nail gun to the untrained ear, but still a report.

A nail gun is better then the 454 Casull, although the 454 would be funner on raccoons.

Subs, I have really good luck with CCI "Quiet-22", 22LR, Lead round nose, 40gr, 710fps.

Agree on rifle as well, my old Ithaca single shot lever is not much louder than my cheap air rifle.
