You ever try the ..22 super Colibri? 20 grain, primer only. Super quiet from a long gun, quieter than a high powered air gun. I like that stuff for around the house.
I have a few cartons. Good load for small pests or birds.
I put a 14" hand made choke on the end of a 22 and it increases the effective range from 8-10 yards to about twice that distance.
Obviously, with # 12 shot, the closer the better because that stuff is about the size of salt grains.

In a long barreled bolt rifle it makes very little noise.
Love that round
