You gotta pay attention to details. The Aguila .22-SSS sniper subsonic has a 60 grain bullet!!! I don't think they have that one at Wal-Mart. The Remington subsonic has a 38 grain bullet and most other brands are around 38 grain also. I wouldn't recommend any subsonic .22 other than the Aguila. I just suggested the Aguila SSS because of the unusually big bullet for a .22. It may not be able to acheive enough velocity out of a revolver. I was designed for bolt action rifles at 50 meters. In a rifle it is effective to 200 yards, if I remember correctly. E
To get 200 yards I think you'd have to point that barrel at about 45 degrees. ;-)
The SSS case is a .22 short case, so it's light on powder. You are basically lobbing a big bullet downrange.
